System Overview
The LSProbe system consists of the optically
powered E-Field Probe and the Computer Interface
shown above. The Computer Interface is connected
to the host computer via USB 2.0.
The LSProbe TCP Server handles all USB commu-
nication. The LUMILOOP GUI and other third party
EMC software access the LSProbe TCP Server using
SCPI commands exchanged via a TCP/IP connection.

Software Installation
1. Run
LUMILOOP_Installer.exe
found on the
USB thumb drive and follow the installation in-
structions.
2. Copy the supplied calibration data into the di-
rectory selected during TCP Server and GUI in-
stallation. E.g. if the calibration data direc-
tory is
C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\LUMILOOP\cal\
lsprobe
and the serial number of the E-Field
Probe is 42, please copy the whole directory
named
sn42
/
2v0sn42
from the installation
medium into the
cal\lsprobe
directory.

Making Optical Connections
Note: Every LSProbe is delivered with plugged op-
tical connectors and ready to use.
Sacrificial optical cables are supplied with each
LSProbe E-Field Probe. Always use the E2000 con-
nectors shown above for breaking and making the
optical connection. The E2000 connectors of the
sacrificial cable assembly include automatic shutters
preventing contamination and resulting optical fiber
burn-in. Nevertheless, all optical connectors must be
kept in a perfectly clean condition at all times.
In case of a fiber connector burn-in only
a pair
of sacrificial cables need to be replaced, allowing for
rapid and cost-effective fault recovery without re-
quiring external service.
For detailed instructions, consult the LSProbe
User’s Manual, Section 5.1.1.

puter has access to the on-line Microsoft Win-
dows Update, the USB driver will be installed
