User's Manual V 2.6, 7/8/2020
Overview:
The Eye-BERT Micro Family of products provide low cost, easy to use, electrical and optical test
solutions offering high performance bit error rate testing at a fraction of the cost while providing a rich
set of features not found in other bit error rate testers. Features include: variable bit rate, user
programmable patterns, optical power and temperature monitoring, and transceiver register read /
write capability. Some models offer one-click transceiver testing which automatically tests the
pluggable transceiver based on the information it reads from the module and generates a detailed test
report complete with manufacturer, part number, serial number, date code, fiber type, link length,
speed, and test results. The Units are supplied with anti-skid bumpers for bench use and are small
enough to be integrated into larger systems for dedicated link verification. A summary of the Eye-
BERT Micro models is listed below; for more details see the individual data sheets.

Warnings and Precautions:
Do not exceed manufacturers recommended optical input power on any port
Use only compatible fiber optical connectors and modules
Use only the supplied 5VDC power supply as applicable
Observe ESD precautions when handling
Proper ventilation and/or heat sinking may be required depending on the environment and
transceiver power dissipation
Installing the Software and Starting the Application
Regardless of the model, all Eye-BERT Micro's use the same easy to operate software application
and USB driver.
1. Insert the CD or download the application from www.spectronixinc.com, run the "Eye-BERT
Micro Install.exe" installation program.
select "Run as administrator".
2. Connect power to the Eye-BERT Micro using the supplied 5VDC adapter (select models).
