EMC-Compliant Probes: In order to work under an EMC-compliant environment,

you will have to clip two or three EMC-ferrites on the 50-wire flat cables linking the

probe to the emulator box. Place these ferrites as close to the emulator window as

possible. Three ferrites are provided in the package. See 

Figure 6

 for an illustration

of where to attach the ferrites.

Step 3: Connecting the Probe to your Application Board

Emulated devices of the ST7MDTU3 family are available in two packages.

Each package has its own connection procedure, found on the page cited in the

table below: 

Note:

You can use your emulator kit with ST7 Visual Debug without an application board—however

the emulation probes must be connected to the HDS2 emulator.
