1. INTRODUCTION
This manual provides operating, interfacing and selected service information pertinent to AR PL Series
Electric Field Probe Kits; Model PL7004. The PL7004 probe incorporates proprietary sensor design. This
model uses miniaturized probe electronics to offer an electric field probe for pulsed electric field
measurements.
1.1 PROBE KIT DESCRIPTION
The Laser Probe Kit includes a PL7004 Probe (Figure 1-1) and an FI7000 Interface (Figure 1-2). The probe
communicates to its dedicated interface via supplied fiber optic cables and bulkhead feed through adapters.
The interface provides standard communication protocols (RS-232, GPIB, USB 2.0) to the user’s host
computer to relay the measured field value. Field values relayed to the host may be further processed and/or
displayed depending upon the host application program (software). Each Probe Kit comes with a carrying
case to house all parts except the interface.
