Entering Multiple Cable Counts

How to enter multiple cable counts and switch between cables for the Fiber Optic Color Code app.



~Entering a feed count 'Cable 1'

1) Selecting 'Input Cable Count' from the top right menu dropdown of the main screen. 

2) We are now in the Cable count input screen.

3) Now select the 'Cable 1' radio button that is located below the count input box.

4) From the 'Select # of Strand' drop down at the top of the screen, select 'RILT#1'. ('RILT#1' is just an example, you can select whatever cable type you really need.)

5) (With the drop down at the top set to ''RILT#1'' and the round buttons below the cable inputs set on 'Cable 1') You can go ahead and enter the cable count for cable 1.

6) Once you have the count all entered click  the 'Color Code' button. ('Cable 1' is automatically saved by having selected the 'Cable 1' radio button when the 'Color Code' button is clicked.)

7) You will now have the Main Screen open for the 'Cable 1' count.

~We can make a second cable 'Cable 2' similarly by:

1) Selecting 'Input Cable Count' from the top right menu dropdown of the main screen.

2) We are now in the Cable count input screen. (Don't worry that it still shows 'Cable 1' count.)

3) Now select the 'Cable 2' radio button that is located below the count input box. ('Cable 1' count disappears.)

4) From the 'Select # of Strand' drop down at the top of the screen, select '12'. (12 is just an example, you can select whatever cable type you really need.)

5) (With the drop down at the top set to '12' and the round buttons below the cable inputs set on 'Cable 2') You can go ahead and enter the cable count for cable 2.

6) Once you have the count all entered click the 'Color Code' button.

2) Then just select 'Cable 1' radio button below the cable count.

3) and click the 'Color Code' button.

~Then to switch back to 'Cable 2' you just repeat the process.  (No images needed)

1) Select 'Input Cable Count'

2) Select 'Cable 2' radio button
