Overview
The VIAVI INX™ 700 Inspection Probe Microscope is a handheld field instrument for inspecting single-fiber, duplex and multifiber connector end faces. It is VIAVI TPA™ (Test Process Automation) enabled and automates each step of the inspection process: test setup, tip configuration, image panning and focus, end-face analysis and data storage.
Automated operation
Users attach the appropriate tip and inspect. The microscope automates setup, image focus, camera panning, image analysis and results storage, with results kept on the device or sent to the VIAVI TPA ecosystem. According to VIAVI, a complete process takes under 10 seconds for a 12x1 multifiber connector, 6 seconds for duplex connectors and 5 seconds for simplex connectors.
AutoID tips and PanOptic imaging
The INX 700 uses the FPT series of stainless-steel inspection tips. Each tip has AutoID technology that configures the microscope for the connector type under test and recalls the last Analysis Profile for that tip. The PanOptic Imaging Engine provides an edge-to-edge field of view without reducing magnification or resolution, so multifiber images show the alignment pins and guide holes as well as detail of each fiber. Duplex connectors are inspected in a single test with a side-by-side view of both fibers.
Analysis and construction
Image analysis combines classical algorithms for standard scenarios with AI-augmented analysis for more complex inspections, and supports IEC 61300-3-35 editions 2 and 3 as well as custom profiles. The tips thread onto a steel chassis that protects the optical system. The textured handle can be gripped with or without gloves, and an energy-absorbing overmold protects the unit. The battery can be swapped quickly and charged outside the microscope.
Models and connectivity
The INX-752 and INX-754 offer USB-C wired connectivity. The INX-762 and INX-764 add Bluetooth-initiated WiFi wireless connectivity. The -2 models use a standard-capacity 24Wh battery and the -4 models an extended-capacity 50Wh battery. Results can be managed with ReportPRO PC software and with VIAVI Mobile Tech and StrataSync.
