7. Gently push or pull both of the probe ends of the semirigid cable in the desired
direction required for adjustment. With gentle wiggling of the probe end, the
cable should slide through the unwaxed dental floss that is holding it to the ther-
mal anchor on the probe arm.
8. Using a 2.5 mm hex driver, tighten the top set of four M3 screws on the cable
feedthrough assembly.
9. Test the fit. If there is not enough adjustment with this method, go to the
second method.
10. Install the bellows to the micro-manipulated stage following steps 5 to 7
11. Install the micro-manipulated stage to the probe station using the instructions
Second Method: Reshape the Microwave Cable
1. Remove the micro-manipulated stage following the steps in section 5.3.2.
2. Remove the probe arm and base using the instructions in section 5.3.3.
3. Remove the cable assembly following the guidelines in section 5.3.6.1.
4. By hand, carefully reposition the 90° bend in the cable to give or take length from
the vertical section and add or subtract it from the horizontal section. Keep pres-
sure on the inside radius as the bend is made to prevent the cable from kinking.
5. Install the cable assembly using the instructions in section 5.3.6.2. You may need
to use the first method of this section for a final adjustment.
6. Test the fit. If there is not enough adjustment with this method, go to the
third method.
7. Install the probe arm and base to the micro-manipulated stage using the instruc-
tions in section 5.3.4.
8. Install the micro-manipulated stage to the probe station using the instructions in
Third Method: Adjust the Arm Length
1. Remove the micro-manipulated stage following the instructions in section 5.3.2.
2. Remove the probe arm and base using the instructions in section 5.3.3.
3. Remove the cable assembly using the instructions in section 5.3.6.1.
4. For the probe arm that has the temperature sensor, remove the 6-pin feed-
through receptacle using section 5.3.5.1 as a guideline. Mark the four sensor
wires so that they can be replaced in their original pin locations.
5. Using a 10 mm wrench, loosen the locknut located on the end of the probe arm
nearest the probe arm base.
6. Rotate the probe arm in full revolutions to lengthen or shorten it as necessary.
7. Tighten the locknut while keeping the probe arm oriented properly.
8. For the probe arm that has the temperature sensor, replace the 6-pin feed-
through receptacle using section 5.3.5.2 as a guideline. Replace all four wires in
their original locations.
9. Install the cable assembly using the instructions in section 5.3.6.2.
10. Install the probe arm and base using the instructions in section 5.3.4.
11. Install the micro-manipulated stage using the instructions in section 5.3.1.
