  • Page 15: Getting Started

    Getting started This section contains a description of the P6701B, & P6703B O/E Converters and information about features, options, accessories, and proper installation. Product description The P6701B and P6703B products are optical-to electrical (O/E) converters that convert optical communication and optical video signals into electrical signals for display on an oscilloscope.

    1103 Power Supply. Order the 1103 power supply for instruments that do not have the TekProbe Interface. Installation Before you connect the output of the P6701B and P6703B O/E Converters, determine whether or not your instrument has the TekProbe II interface.
  • Page 17 NOTE. Some old TDS 400 and TDS 400A series oscilloscopes always interpret the P6701B and P6703B attenuation setting as ÷ 10 and display units as V instead of mW. When you use the O/E converters, divide the measurement (or scale factor) by 10 and interpret measurements as milliwatts instead of volts.

  • Page 19: Operating Basics

    Operating basics This section presents the basic information necessary you need to know to operate the P6701B and P6703B O/E Converters. Operating safety WARNING. To avoid eye injury, wear eye protection if risk of exposure to high-intensity rays or laser radiation exists.
  • Page 20: Handling

    NOTE. Cleaning kits for fiber-optic connectors are available from a number of suppliers. Handling Even though the fiber-optic cable of the P6701B or P6703B O/E Converter is protected by a jacket and strain relief, the fiber-optic cable should be handled carefully at all times.
  • Page 21: Optical Input

    Operating basics Optical input The P6701B and P6703B O/E Converters can be connected to optical fibers with a core diameter of up to 62.5 μm through one of the FC, ST, SC, or DIN adapters. Adapter cables that aid in connecting many other popular optical connectors are also available.
