The Tektronix TM5003 / OCP5002 is a modular optical and electrical measurement platform combining a three-bay mainframe with a dedicated optical-to-electrical converter and power meter. The TM5003 mainframe accepts up to three single-width TM500 or TM5000 series plug-in modules, delivering regulated DC and AC power rails through a switch-mode supply with electronic regulation. The OCP5002 optical module integrates into the TM5000 series architecture to provide optical signal analysis, conversion, and average-power measurement across DC to 2 GHz bandwidth. This configuration delivers the flexibility needed for optical digital communication characterization, LED and laser testing, and precision optical power assessment in laboratory and production environments.
