Connecting the Probe Cables to the Logic Analyzer

Connecting the Pods to the Probe Cable

The probe cables are installed in the Logic Analyzer module at the factory. The cable for pod 1 is the far left cable (rear view). Cables 2 through 5 follow cable 1 consecutively from left to right. If there is a need to install or replace the cables refer the HP 16510B Service Manual.

The pods of the HP 16510B differ from other logic analyzers in that they are passive (have no active circuits at the outer end of the cable). The pods, as they will be referred to for consistency, are the connector bodies (as shown below) that the probes are installed in when you receive your logic analyzer.

Figure 2-7. Connecting Pods to Probe Cables

To connect a pod to a cable, you align the key on the cable connector with the slot on the pod connector and push them together.
