Probe Grounds
Note
You can ground the probes in one of two ways. You can ground the probes with the pod ground only; however, the ground path won’t be the same length as the signal path through the probe. If your probe ground path must be the same as your signal path, use the short ground lead (probe ground). The probe ground lead connects to the molded probe body via a pin and socket. You can then use a grabber or grounded pins on your target system the same way as the pod ground.
Figure 2-6. Probe Grounds
For improved signal fidelity, use a probe ground for every four probes in addition to the pod ground.
If you need additional probe ground leads, order HP part number
