Probe Description

Optical-Electrical Converter

The Optical-Electrical Converter (O-E Converter herein after) can restore the optical signal transmitted by the  Electrical-Optical converter (E-O Converter herein after) to an electrical signal and input to the oscilloscope. The buttons on the O-E converter are to control the probe and the LEDs indicate the operating status of the probe.

Optical-Electrical Converter (O-E Converter)

Button Description:

Button: Cali.

Short press to start Auto calibration, calibration time is usually less than 1 second, no need to wait. During  calibration, no need to disconnect the test connection. LED will flash during calibration, the buzzer sounds one  time indicates a successful calibration, three times indicates a failed calibration, press Cali. button again if failed.

Button: Gain

Short press “Gain” to switch between 0dB and 20dB. The attenuation factor of the attenuator is not fixed, the  corresponding attenuation factor needs to be set according to the indicator light.

Over-voltage Alert

When Gain (Power) button flashes rapidly and hearing a rapid “DiDiDiDi…” buzzer sound, it means the input voltage is out of range, please select a suitable attenuating tip.

Over-heating Warning:

When hearing a “DiDi” sound every 2 seconds, it means the temperature of the Optical-Electrical (O-E)  converter is overheated, please check whether the dissipation port is blocked.

Electrical-Optical Converter

The Electrical-Optical (E-O) converter converts the electrical signal from device under test into an optical signal  and transmits it via optic fiber to the Optical-Electrical (O-E) converter.

The E-O converter of SigOFIT probe is powered over fiber, no additional power supply required.

How to choose an attenuator:

Caution: Please select proper attenuator for the measurement to avoid damage to the Electrical-Optical converter or degradation of performance due to over- voltage.

Please select the attenuating tip with the lowest attenuation ratio allowed by the tested signal range.

The attenuator should be selected based on the peak voltage (or rms voltage) of the signal under test. Please  refer to the technical specifications to select the appropriate attenuator.

Precaution Requirements

Measurement System Precautions

SigOFIT probe contains high quality components and should be handled with care to avoid damage or degradation  of performance due to improper handling. Please consider the following precautions when handling fiber optic cable and electrical-to-optical converter end connections:

  • DO NOT excessively bend fiber-optic cable. Avoid tight radius ( 8cm) bends, crushing, crimping, twisting, pulling or otherwise stressing cables.
  • DO NOT block the heat dissipation port on the Optical-Electrical converter (or O-E Converter), otherwise the probe may be overheated and damaged.
  • Do not put heavy objects on the fiber cable, such as running over with a chair.
  • When disassembling and moving the probe, please hold the converter body by hand, do not lift or drag the cable.
  • Accidental drop of the E-O or the O-E converter may result in damage to internal optical components.
  • Please check damage to the fiber cable, (as shown below) please stop use when there is damage to the flexible braided cable or the soft rubber sheath.
  • When not in use, store the SigOFIT probe in its factory fitted carrying case.

Safety Requirements

The high common-mode voltage range of SigOFIT optically isolated probe can be applied to measurements where  high-frequency and high-voltage common-mode signals are present. Please read and understand all precautions  when measuring with this product.

Warning: Electric shocks may occur when using this measurement system. The system is used to isolate the  personnel from dangerous input voltages (common voltage); the plastic housing of the Electrical-Optical converter  and the shielding of the attenuator do not provide safe isolation.

Keep a safe distance from the Electrical-Optical converter and the attenuator when the measurement system is  connected to an energized circuit as recommended in this manual. When making measurements on energized  circuits, do not touch radio frequency burn hazard area.

Safe distance from electro-optical converters and attenuators when measuring high-voltage common-mode signals:

Common model voltage (AC) 10kV or below 10 kV ~ 35 kV > 35 kV
Safe distance >0.7m >1m >1.5m

Warning: Do not disassemble the electrical-optical converter or the optical- electrical converter. They contain a  laser source which may result in laser exposure.

Warning: To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not connect the measurement system directly to an energized  circuit. Always disconnect the test circuit before installing or removing the attenuating tip from the test circuit. The plastic housing the converter and the shielded end of the attenuator do not provide isolation.

Warning: To avoid the risk of electric shock or RF burn when the circuit under test is energized, do not touch  the electrical-optical converter and its attenuator while testing. Always maintain a distance of 1 meter or more from the electrical-optical converter during the test. Be sure to review the instrument’s maximum ratings and derating  curves for more information on RF burn areas.

Warning: To avoid possible damage to the device, do not connect the probe of the electrical-optical converter  connection to a high impedance part of the circuit. Additional capacitance may cause damage to the circuit. Please connect the probe connected to the electrical-optical converter to the low impedance part of the circuit. Note:  Touching the electrical-optical converter or attenuator while measuring high frequency common mode signals will  increase capacitive coupling and may reduce the common mode loading of the test circuit.

Warning: To prevent arc flash caused by different potentials, do not place the electrical-optical converter end  attenuator in a circuit with different voltages.

Installation

Operation Steps

  1. Connect the optical-electrical converter to the oscilloscope;

  2. Set the oscilloscope input impedance to 50 Ω, set the corresponding attenuation ratio and delay time;

  3. Connect the attenuating tip to the electrical-optical converter;

  4. Power the SigOFIT probe by connecting USB-C cable to O-E Converter using standard charger (localized), the E-O Converter will be powered on automatically, vice versa, when the O-E converter powered off, the E-O converter will be powered off simultaneously.

  5. Solder the MMCX or MCX adapter to the test board.
    Notice:

  6. When testing Vgs signal, the signal pin (in the middle) of the adapter must be connected to the G-end of the MOSFET;

  7. Solder the adapter directly to the test point, try NOT to use extension lead, it may bring unsatisfactory test results.

  8. For easy soldering, suggest to cut three of the four ground pins around the base (Figure below), just keep one. adapter

  9. Plug the attenuating tip to the adapter;

  10. Power ON the test board;

  11. Adjust the oscilloscope settings and proceed normal test;

Troubleshooting

The LED light indicate working states of the SigOFIT probe, if the Green light is not ON, possible problems that  you might encounter when taking measurements. Use the tables as a quick troubleshooting reference before contacting Micsig for service.

Failure phenomenon Possible causes and solutions
Signal amplitude does not  match as expected • The input signal may out of

the oscilloscope display range

• Ensure that the input signal is within the range

DC measurement error exists| • Whether the oscilloscope or the probe itself has zero drift, please zero the equipment before measurement

• Check if the oscilloscope is on AC coupling

• Adjust the time base of the oscilloscope to more than 1ms

• DC measurement should observe the average value on the oscilloscope

Big noise, unable to accurately measure weak signal| • Select the probe with lower attenuation to connect the E-O converter

• Ensure the oscilloscope attenuation ratio is consistent with the SigOFIT probe

• Set the oscilloscope vertical scale to a smaller value

• Pay attention to the noise floor of the oscilloscope and the probe itself

No signal is captured and the  waveform is a straight line at  the zero point| • Check oscilloscope coupling settings

• Check whether the probe is powered on
