General Purpose Probing

The Termination Adapter

HP 16510B Front-panel Reference

General purpose probing involves connecting the probes directly to your target system without using the interface. General purpose probing does not limit you to specific hook-up schemes as the probe interface does.

The optional termination adapter (HP Part No. 01650-63201) allows you to connect the probe cables directly to test ports on your target system without the probes. However, since the probes contain the proper termination for the logic analyzer inputs, a termination must be provided when you aren’t using the probes. The termination adapter provides this termination.

The termination adapter is designed to connect to a 20 (2x10) position, 4-wall, low profile header connector, 3M® Series 3592 or equivalent.

You connect the termination adapter to the probe cable in place of the pod connector and connect the other end of the adapter directly to your test port.
