Important safety information
To avoid fire or personal
injury
Ground the product. This product is indirectly grounded through the grounding
conductor of the mainframe power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly grounded. Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power source. See instructions for the location. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times to allow for quick disconnection if needed.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage source. Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the product, or indicated by Tektronix to be suitable for the product.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all rating and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings information before making connections to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels removed, or with the case open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this product, have it inspected by qualified service personnel.
Disable the product if it is damaged. Do not use the product if it is damaged or operates incorrectly. If in doubt about safety of the product, turn it off and disconnect the power cord. Clearly mark the product to prevent its further operation.
Examine the exterior of the product before you use it. Look for cracks or missing pieces.
Use only specified replacement parts.
Wear eye protection. Wear eye protection if exposure to high-intensity rays or laser radiation exists.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. Be aware that condensation may occur if a unit is moved from a cold to a warm environment.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Remove the input signals before you clean
the product.

The unfiltered frequency response approximates a 4th order Bessel-Thomson curve with a -3 dBe frequency of 21 GHz. The response on a TekConnect channel is altered slightly relative to the response on an ATI channel. This is due to microwave characteristics of the coaxial cable connecting the O/E to the TekConnect interface.

Performance verification

Performance verification

If you are not familiar with operating this instrument, read the instrument user manual or explore the online help.
These performance verification procedures add direct checking of the warranted specifications that are marked with the symbol. These procedures require specific test equipment.

Functional tests

The purpose of these procedures is to confirm that the instrument functions properly.
NOTE. These procedures verify functions; that is, they verify that the instrument features operate. They do not verify that they operate within limits.
Therefore, when the instructions in the functional tests that follow call for you to verify that a signal appears on-screen "that is about five divisions in amplitude" or "has a period of about six horizontal divisions," etc., do NOT interpret the quantities given as limits. Operation within limits is checked in Performance Tests. (See Performance tests on page 20.)
NOTE. DO NOT make changes to the front-panel settings that are not called out in the procedures. Each verification procedure will require you to set the instrument to certain default settings before verifying functions. If you make changes to these settings, other than those called out in the procedure, you may obtain invalid results. In this case, just redo the procedure from step 1.
When you are instructed to press a front-panel or screen button, the button may already be selected (its label will be highlighted). If this is the case, it is not necessary to press the button.

First turn on functional checks

1. When a DPO7OE Series probe is plugged into a 70k series oscilloscope for the first time, measured S-parameters for the probe are copied from the probe internal memory to build custom correction filters. The message pictured below appears on the screen while this process takes place. Total operation time may take over a minute.
2. Once complete, the message will disappear.
Verify that the message appears the first time the probe is attached to the instrument.

3. The probe model number and serial number can be verified in the Probe Properties screen, accessible from the Probe Setup menu.
4. Attach the probe to the instrument.
5. Select Vertical > Probe Cal to open the Probe Setup panel. Select the tab for
the channel that the probe is attached to.
6. Press the Properties button.
The Probe Properties window is displayed.
7. Verify the probe model number and serial number.
