Probing the Device Under Test

When using the 16760A logic analyzer, there are four probing options available:

•“Using the E5378A Single-Ended Probe” on page 35

•“Using the E5379A Differential Probe” on page 37

•“Using the E5380A Mictor-Compatible Probe” on page 39

•“Using the E5382A Single-ended Flying Lead Probe Set” on page 40

•“Using an Analysis Probe” on page 41

Using the E5378A Single-Ended Probe

The E5378A single-ended probe has 34-channels and is capable of capturing data at rates up to 1500 Mb/s. The probe has the following inputs:

•32 single-ended data inputs, in two groups (pods) of 16.

•Two differential clock inputs. Either or both clock inputs can be acquired as data inputs if not used as a clock.

•Two data threshold reference inputs, one for each pod (group of 16 data inputs).

This probe matches two 17-channel probe cables to a single-ended 100-pin Samtec connector.

Each E5379A probe requires a mating connector and support shroud built into the device under test.

You can order a probing connector kit, which contains five mating connectors and five support shrouds, using the Agilent part numbers:

•16760-68702 for PC board thicknesses up to 0.062 in.

•16760-68703 for PC board thicknesses up to 0.120 in.
