Operating basics
Connect the probe to the instrument
The P6910 probe connects a TLA6200 Series logic analyzer or TLA7000 Series
logic analyzer with TLA7Axx or TLA7Bxx logic analyzer modules to the SUT.
Apply the labels to the probes before connecting the probes to the instrument
and to the SUT.
Connect the probes to the logic analyzer using the following steps:
1. Match the color-coded labels of the probe to the same color-coded connector
on the logic analyzer. (See Figure 3 on page 7.)
2. Identify the beveled edges of the connector inside the logic analyzer end
of the probe.
3. Align the beveled edges of the connector to its mating connector on the logic
analyzer and press into place.
4. Evenly tighten both screws on the logic analyzer end of the probe until they
are snug.
Tighten each screw to 4 in-lbs (max).
CAUTION.
When attaching the probe to the logic analyzer, use care to evenly
tighten probe screws until they are snug. Under-tightening the probe screws can
result in intermittent operation. Over-tightening can result in stripped screws.
NOTE.
The P6910 probe can be connected to the logic analyzer when it is
powered on. The probe head can also be connected to the SUT without turning
the power off.
