Thanks for choosing the Fiber Optic Color Code app! This update includes a couple of user requests to the straight fiber sheath count search screen. First is X=Y: The x=y update allows a user to set a custom straight sheath count if they might only know only one of the fibers identity. So say you know fiber 36 is identified as 55. Above the Custom Start Fiber is a X=Y option. Clicking the option will open up 2 inputs. The first input is the X input where you enter the physical Fiber #. In the above scenario you enter the 35. The second input is the Y input. Here you'll enter the ID of 55. Doing the above enters a starting fiber of 20 into the app. 2nd part update "Update Ranges (##-##)": When entering a custom start fiber this option updates the the numbers inside the parentheses ( ) to reflect the custom fibers id'd within for quick glancing. You the user will need to enable the "Update Ranges (##-##)" option from within the app settings located in the More tab on the bottom navigation bar 3rd part of update "Reverse" lookup: When a custom start fiber is entered there is now a option to search by physical sheath count. So entering a custom start fiber of 20 and reverse searching for physical sheath fiber of 2 results in displaying the second fiber in the sheath id'd as 21. Thanks again! GT

Removed the recently added send count as text button due to text messaging length limitations and other considerations. The app will still be able to receive counts through the fiber://icc?count= url scheme from other sources like email, web text link and other possible paperless sources including my soon to be released cable count splicing app. Thanks for your patience. URL scheme Examples: Without a count: fiber:// With single line of count: fiber://icc?count=12WX,1-288 With multi-lines of count: fiber://icc?count=12WX,1-288%0A3LX,145-408%0AD,553-576 multi-line separator = %0A (percent symbol, zero, capital "A")

~Updated occupied radio buttons color from black to slate while in dark mode. ~Added a share count button to the ICC screen that encodes the count with the new URL scheme. ~Added support for app users that require a colon as a cable name an fiber range separator. ex. 104WX:145-288 ~Made into Mac app. Release in near future Thanks for your support! In the next few weeks be sure to stop back here and check out my new app project in the "More by" section. A user can enter up to 10 cable counts that all get checked for matching counts. When there is a match, the matching counts will then get a corresponding colored block next to it in an easy to read parsed count display. The new app will use the new URL scheme that has been added to open this app and my 25 Pair CC app with the selected count depending on the user entered grouping configuration.

This update adds the requirement of using a host and key value parameter for the new url scheme. This structure will provide more options with future development. For users that work with cable counts. This update implements a url scheme to use links with cable counts to open the app and have the counts automatically placed in it. End user will need to configure cable type. See my 25 Pair Color Code app for a copper:// url scheme. Thanks!! Examples: Without a count: fiber:// With single line of count: fiber://icc?count=22ca,1-288 With multi-lines of count: fiber://icc?count=22ca,1-288%0A3ca,1-144%0A22ca,433-576 fiber = app "icc" = Input Cable Count screen "count" = parameter key name your count with multi-line separator (value) = %0A (percent symbol, zero, capital "A") Possible usage: Send counts as a link by text message. Send counts by link in email. Make clickable cable counts on a webpage. And other paperless solutions.

Thanks for choosing my Fiber Optic CC app! ~This update allows the user to place the app into and stay in the Dark Mode theme. Select the "More" tab > "App Settings" at the top of the list. Then flip the "Force Dark Mode" switch on. ~Updated to latest iOS 14.4 ~ Minor adjustments.

Thanks for choosing my Fiber Optic CC app! This update includes a new "Big" fiber search option and an even faster cable count entry enhancement. New "Big" search feature option: When searching for a fiber, the app user can now select the "Big" search option to have only their located fiber's color code and numeric location values shown. 'Speed Counts' cable entry enhancement: While entering a cable count, the Cable ID autocomplete text bar now also looks into the 3 saved cable count positions for possible matching Cable ID's.

Thanks for choosing my Fiber Optic CC app! ~Say it Improved the cable count lingo while the app is speaking. Having cable count read back is an easy way of verifying your count has been entered correctly. Simply press the "Say it" button to listen along to your entered count while looking at a print / computer to verify they match. Thanks again!

Thanks for choosing my Fiber Optic Color Code app! This update includes a new feature and app behavior adjustments for the best user experience yet. ~Speed Counts For app users that work with cable counts there is now a faster manual cable count entry option. While working on the bottom line of count (last line of cable count) there is now a Cable ID autocomplete bar which displays up to 5 similarly started Cable ID's of the current cable count you are working with. Selecting a cable id auto completes the last line of count with the selected cable id and separator. Speed Counts are also implemented when searching for a cable strand too. Let others know what you think of the app by rating or leaving a review. Thanks again!

New app features include: • A new maximum cable size of 6,912F • Added a 48F Loosetube option Customizable Cable builder: • The 5 customizable cable builder positions now have editable fiber quantity’s also. • New customizable cable maximum qty's (not to exceed 6912F): ~ 24 super tubes ~ 144 ribbons ~ 48 fibers • New app settings: ~ "Pin color code to cable type" When enabled allows the app to remember the last used color code on a cable type. ~ "12ct Series & Block" This option will in all "Ribbon" cable types display a "Series:Ribbon Position in series" as for example "3:11" over a solid color block that some cable manufacturers may print on their ribbons. (Color code needs to be 12 unique solid tube colors of any combination) ~ "S12 Matix" For app users of Nordic countries that use a matrix color code system for identifying 4 or 8ct ribbons in a slotted/spår type cable. ~ The "Pin the color code" option needs to be enabled for the last two options to be available. Cable Count Input: • The input now has an active fiber counter that displays the fiber quantity entered over the selected cable types maximum qty as "####/####" • For possible cable count trouble shooting I've doubled the chosen cable types maximum for enabling the "Parse Cable" button. So that if the entered cable count has exceeded the chosen cable types maximum you are now choose the parse cable button to see the count broke down and possibly identify the issue with the cable count. Color Codes • Added editable Super Tube colors. • Added S12 to color code list along with an un-even S12 Matrix 480F ribbon color code. (existing users will need to reinstall app to see these color codes) • Added a tan color and a 6th level loosetube color options • 5th and 6th levels now display a easily distinguishable and countable dot • for a "5" ("•"=5 and "•|"=6)

Adjusted some app behaviors for a smother user experience.

Added user request for an 18 strand option. Implemented a color scheme for system Dark Mode setting. Improved Cable Count Input screen buttons behavior.

Added minor feature: User can now click a fiber and pointers will be placed at the tube, ribbon and strand locations. The app title bar will also show the fibers layer drill down with an index pointer to show that it was user click initiated. If a user searched for a fiber by using the 'Find a Fiber' button, the searched for fibers index pointers are locked so that it is not accidentally changed by an unwanted click. To use the user click feature the 'Find a Fibers' displayed fibers layer will have to be closed and reopened.

~updated store images ~Added 'Smart Save' to use up to 3 cable counts. From Input Cable Count screen. 1) Configure the sub-unit type (12F, 6F, RILT.... etc) 2) Enter cable count 3) Select a cable position 4) Click Color Code button The app will then store the cable count and sub-unit type and take the user to the expanding Color Code screen.
