Connecting the Probe to the DUT

This chapter describes the different ways of connecting the probe to the DUT. In
addition, the accessories supplied are described and their use is explained.
In order to achieve optimum RF performance, the connections should always be
as short as possible.
Risk of injuries
The included probe pins are exceptionally sharp and must be handled with
extreme care. To prevent injuries, always use tweezers when inserting or
removing pins.
Some solder-in accessories are very fine and sensitive. The probe should
be stabilized by using appropriate means (e.g. adhesive tape, probe posi-
tioner) in order to protect the solder joint from excessive mechanical stress.

Connecting the Probe to the DUT
Use tweezers to insert the solder-in pins onto
the pins inside the signal sockets of the probe,
and then cut to the appropriate length. Try to
keep the wires as short as possible. Finally,
stabilize the probe, for example by using adhe-
sive tape.
The fine wires on this adapter are best suited
to make secure contact with small contact
points, such as SMT components or IC pins.
Distance range: 0 mm to 15 mm (0 mil to
