Grabber Clip and Right-angle Ground Lead
Grabber Clip and Right-angle Ground Lead
Using the grabber clip for the signal and the right-angle for the ground gives you
the greatest flexibility for attaching the probe to component leads, however as
you can see from the following information, the signal quality is compromised
the most severely by this configuration.
Grabber configuration
This configuration is provided as a convenient method of attaching to systems
with slower rise times. The response of the probe is severely over-peaked. The
load on the target is also the most severe of the 4 recommended configurations.
As will be demonstrated in the following sets of measurements, the grabber clip
and right angle ground lead configuration is only for systems with rise times
slower than 1ns or effective clock rates less than 600Mb/s.
Note
It is critical to maintain good probing techniques on the clock signal. If the clock
being probed has <1 ns rise times, use an alternative configuration for probing.
