Getting Started
The 80C00 Series Optical Modules and their available options are
high-performance optical modules that support high bandwidth telecom and
datacom stan
dards. The 80C00 Series modules work with the following main
instruments (mainframes):
DSA8200 Dig
ital Serial Analyzer
CSA8000, CSA8000B, and CSA8200 Communications Signal Analyzers
TDS8000, TDS8000B, and TDS8200 Digital Sampling Oscilloscopes
Proper operation of the optical sampling modules requires that the appropriate
application software is installed on the main instrument. The following table lists
the mainframe application software versions and the optical modules supported.
To displ

The large compartments support single channel modules, while the small
compartments support single or dual channel modules. Eight of the 10 inputs
are usable at one time.

CAUTION. T
precautions:
Do not drop the module since damage and misalignment of the photodiode optical
assembly can result. Store the module in a secure location when not in use.
Place the protective cap on the input connector when the module is not in use.
To prevent loss of optical power or damage to the optical connectors, keep the
connectors clean at all times. Check that all connectors, jumpers, and protective
caps are clean before connecting them to the module. (See page 22, Cleaning
Optical Connectors.)
Take care to preserve the integrity of the connectors by keeping them free of
contamination. For cleaning information, see Cleaning Optical Connectors.(See
page 22.)

Your optical module is a part of a larger instrument system. Most optical module
functions are controlled automatically by the main instrument. These include such
things as vertical scaling and horizontal sampling rate. You do not directly control
these parameters; they are controlled for you as you perform tasks on the main
instrument. The parameters that you control from the optical module front panel
are explained in the Front Panel Controls section.
An additional optical module function that you control from the main instrument
is external channel attenuation. External Attenuation lets you enter a number
representing any external attenuation you have added to a channel.

Typical optical module front panels are shown in the following figure. (See

Each channel has a SELECT channel button and an amber channel light. The
button operates as follows:
If the amber channel light is on, the channel is acquiring a waveform.
If you push the channel button and the channel is not being acquired (for
any channel or math waveform), then the instrument activates (turns on) the
channel.
If you push the button and the channel is active as a channel waveform, then
the instrument selects the channel waveform.
If the channel wave form is already selected when you push the channel
button, the instrument turns the channel off.

Recovery
Clock and data recovery are available on most modules as Options CR, CR1, CR2,
CR3, or CR4. The 80C12 module comes standard with an electrical signal output
that, when ro
provides clock recovery. The 80A05 must b e installed in the same mainframe.
Clock recovery is available on the 80C10B and 80C25GBE modules as Option
CRTP, which provides electrical signal outputs that you connect to compatible
external clock recovery devices, such as the Tektronix CR286A Option HS, to
provide clock recovery. A list of all available optical modules and the clock
recovery available for each module is provided in this document. (See Table 9
on page 18.)
Clock recovery options CR, CR1, CR2, and CR3 provide various predefined
output rates (depending on the optical module model and the CR option). Clock
recovery option CR4 provides both predefined selections and a continuous-rate
selection. The continuous rate depends on the user entering the bit rate into the
Trigger Setup dialog box of the main instrument with an accuracy better than
1000 ppm.

DATA and DATA (recovered data). These outputs provide a 50 Ω,
AC-coupled, ~ECL/2 level signal from the optical module data signal. These
signals are digitally buffered and retimed to be synchronous with the serial
recovered clock.
CLOCK and CLOCK (recovered clock). These outputs are clock signals
synchronous with the incoming data signal.
1/16 CLOCK (recovered clock). This output provides the clock signal

the rate.
NOTE. If clock and data recovery are enabled, and you do not connect a signal
(or not the appropriate signal) to the front panel, the recovered clock and data
signal may free run.
NOTE. The recovered clock is simultaneously made available internally to the
main instrument for use as the trigger; it is not necessary to attach a cable from
the clock or 1/16 clock to the external trigger input. Simply select the recovered
clock for triggering from the trigger menu.
The 80C12 module uses the 80A05 or 80A07 Electrical Clock Recovery module
for Clock and Data recovery. Refer to the 80A05 or 80A07 module user
documentation for triggering information.
The 80C10B and 80C25GBE modules with Option CRTP do not provide an
internal recovered clock trigger signal to the main instrument. These modules
require a compatible external clock recovery device, such as the Tektronix
CR286A Option HS.

typically described using a logarithmic decibel scale. A value expressed in terms
of a decibel relative to a reference is defined as:
For electrical bandwidths the reference of a system is commonly the response of
the system to a sinusoidal frequency at or near DC. The point at which the system
response (power is the common parameter that is referre d to in many systems) is
one half would therefore be:
In terms of frequency, voltage, and resistance the bandwidth is expressed as:
where V(f) is the RMS of the voltage swing response at the bandwidth frequency
and V(DC) is the RMS voltage swing response at a frequency approaching DC.
Further math yields V(f) =
0.707 V(DC).
The expression is simplified by canceling the R and moving the squared term
inside the log expression
to a multiple outside the log expression:
In the DSA8200, CSA8000 and TDS8000 Series instruments, the vertical units
displayed for an optical module are not in volts, but in watts, which are units of
power. The optical-to-electrical converter inside the module outputs a voltage
whose amplitude is linearly de
pendent on the incoming optical power; in this
condition the voltage applied a t the electrical sampler already represents optical
power in its linear form (as opposed to having to square the voltage and divide by
R). For the optical sampling modules then, the bandwidth where the displayed
optical power is one half that approaching DC is:
