a. Initialize the oscilloscope:
HPress SAVE/RECALL SETUP.
HPress the main-menu button Recall Factory Setup.
HPress the side-menu button OK Confirm Factory Init.
b. Connect the probe, oscilloscope, optical impulse generator (OIG), and
the optical attenuator:
HConnect the optical probe to CH 1 of the oscilloscope under test (see
Figure 1–43).
HSee Table 1–9. If using a P6701B probe, connect the OIG501
(Item 27) OPTICAL OUTPUT to the optical attenuator (Item 29)
OPTICAL INPUT using a fiber-optic cable (Item 30). If using a
P6703B probe, connect the OIG502 (Item 28) OPTICAL OUTPUT
to the optical attenuator (Item 29) OPTICAL INPUT using a
fiber-optic cable (Item 30).
