Abstract
A display apparatus for optical fiber inspection includes a processor programmed to receive, from a camera, a visual image of an array of endfaces of fiber optic cables being inspected, and to produce, on a display, an inspection interface that includes a first section and a second section. The first section shows a portion of the received image that includes a portion of the endfaces captured in the image. The second section shows a graphical map containing icons that depict representations of the endfaces in the array of endfaces. A selection window identifies the icons representing the endfaces that are currently shown in the first section. In response to user input, the display apparatus correspondingly modifies which endfaces are shown in the first section and modifies the position and/or size of the selection window in the second section.
