Changeable tip for optical fiber inspection device

A method, comprising:

• receiving, from one or more programmable components disposed in a changeable tip of an imaging device, a signal indicating tip configuration information associated with the changeable tip, wherein the changeable tip comprises a first electrical contact configured to engage a second electrical contact of a tip connection interface disposed on an opto-mechanical assembly of the imaging device when the changeable tip is coupled to the opto-mechanical assembly;
• configuring, based on the tip configuration information, at least one testing parameter associated with a test to inspect an image of an end face of an optical fiber for compliance with a set of criteria related to a condition of the end face of the optical fiber;
• and
• outputting a result of the test that indicates a compliance status associated with the set of criteria.

A device, comprising:

• a tip connection interface, comprising a first electrical contact configured to engage a second electrical contact of a changeable tip, configured to cause a signal indicating tip configuration information associated with the changeable tip to be transmitted;
• and
• an opto-mechanical assembly, connected to the tip connection interface, comprising:
• an imaging device configured to capture an image of an end face of an optical fiber within a field of view of the imaging device, and
• a configuration component configured to:
• receive, from one or more programmable components of the changeable tip, a signal indicating tip configuration information associated with the changeable tip,
• configure, based on the tip configuration information, at least one testing parameter associated with a test to inspect the image of the end face of the optical fiber for compliance with a set of criteria related to a condition of the end face of the optical fiber, and
• output a result of the test that indicates a compliance status associated with the set of criteria.
