Test Pad Locations
Figure 8. Board Top View with test points labeled
The test pads highlighted in Figure 8 allow various types of pin headers and solderable
posts to be soldered on all the major nodes so oscilloscope probes can be attached.
Figure 9 shows a pair of pin headers soldered onto test points 6&7 allowing an
oscilloscope probe to monitor V

Terminals CON1, CON2, CON3 and CON4 are the power terminals, and their definitions
vary based on topology. The terminals are vertical through-hole connectors with a 10-
32 threaded hole and a screw provided. The terminals can accommodate a cable with a
