Operator’s Manual Safety Symbols These symbols appear on the product or in its documentation to alert you to important safety considerations. CAUTION of potential damage to product, or WARNING of potential for bodily injury. Attend to the accompanying information to protect against injury or damage. Do not proceed until conditions are fully understood and met.
Optical Wavelength, Dark Calibration and Reference Receiver functions are all controlled from the oscilloscope’s user interface. The OE695G is unique in that it operates with a real-time oscilloscope, not a sampling oscilloscope, and uses a digital signal processing (DSP) filter to enable a user-selectable reference receiver response.
125 µm. The core diameter should nominally be 62.5 µm. Other core diameters may be used with the OE695G, but a smaller or larger diameter will alter the amount of light falling on the photo-receiver and impact the gain accuracy of the OE695G.

To perform dark calibration, cover the OE695G input with the supplied cap, and press the Dark Calibration button on the OE695G dialog. A scale factor value will be calculated and displayed.

=0.75*bit rate and ±4 dBe 2*bitrate setting. An OE695G-REFCAL OE695G reference receiver calibration can be purchased that will provide less uncertainty with the OE695G when used with a specific oscilloscope and a specific channel. This REFCAL is usually purchased at the time of initial OE695G and oscilloscope purchase.
There are four standard optical wavelength selections at 785nm, 850nm, 1310nm and 1550nm. Custom optical wavelength can be adjusted between 750nm to 1650nm; however, gain of the OE695G can vary widely at different wavelengths, and calibration of gain is only performed at the standard wavelengths.
Optical power meter calibrated for the optical wavelength of the source • Multimode optical fiber patch cable • Procedure 1. Connect the OE695G to a compatible oscilloscope channel and allow to fully warm-up for at least 20 minutes. 2. Configure the following settings on the oscilloscope: Recall Default setup •...
= [(Observed – Residual) – Input]/Input The error fraction should be in the range –Δ < err-frac < +Δ where Δ is determined by the sum of the magnitudes of the allowed OE695G uncertainty (e.g., 10% or 0.1) and the optical power meter uncertainty (e.g., 6% or 0.06).

NOTE: The scale factor makes the vertical units dBe (electrical) instead of dBo (optical power). Optical reference receiver specifications are in terms of dBe. 10. With the OE695G optical input cover closed, perform a dark calibration (page 5). 11. Connect the attenuator output cable to OE695G optical input.
The recommended calibration interval is one year. Adjustment should be performed only by qualified personnel. Service Strategy Defective products must be returned to a Teledyne LeCroy service facility for diagnosis and repair or replacement. Defective products under warranty are repaired or replaced. Before returning a product as defective: Verify the Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope is running firmware 6.9.0.0 or...
Products returned to the factory require a Return Material Authorization number (RMA). Return shipment should be prepaid. Teledyne LeCroy cannot accept COD or Collect Return shipments. We recommend air-freighting. 1. Contact your local Teledyne LeCroy sales or service representative to obtain a Return Material Authorization.
