OE695G Overview
The OE695G is designed to help troubleshoot optical-to-electrical signal integrity
issues at the board level. For system integrators who measure both electrical
and optical signals in their products, the OE695G provides electrical
measurements on optical signals, while taking full advantage of the Teledyne
LeCroy real-time oscilloscope tool set and the debugging capabilities of the
Teledyne LeCroy Serial Data and Crosstalk Analysis software options.
When connected to the oscilloscope, the OE695G becomes an integrated part of
the oscilloscope. Power is supplied to the OE695G by the oscilloscope (no
external power supply is needed), and the OE695G communicates to the
oscilloscope its identity and scaling information. The 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. Since the optical input signal is
input to a real-time oscilloscope, it is possible to use the contiguous data
acquisition of the real-time oscilloscope to obtain serial data pattern knowledge
and provide Tj, Rj, and Dj decomposition to very high accuracy, like what is done
with high-speed electrical serial data signals. The low cost and general utility of
this optical to electrical converter makes it ideal for those who are already using
real-time oscilloscopes for electrical serial data measurements, and need to also
measure optical serial data signals as well.
Compatibility

The OE695G converter is compatible with WaveMaster/SDA/DDA 8
Zi/Zi-A, LabMaster 9 Zi-A, and LabMaster 10 Zi series oscilloscopes using
Teledyne LeCroy’s 2.92mm interface and Teledyne LeCroy’s ProLink
interface through the use of the LPA-2.92 ProLink to 2.92mm adapter.

Requires 6.9.0.0 or later version of Oscilloscope firmware.
