Operating basics
Apply the labels to the probe
Attach the labels to logic analyzer-end of the probe and to each of the four way
stations.
Attach the color-coded labels to the probe to help you identify the logic analyzer
and probe connections when connecting the probe to the SUT.
1. Determine the channel groups that you plan to use on your logic analyzer and
identify the matching labels.
Refer to the logic analyzer to identify the number of probe connections
(dependent on the number of channels on the instrument) and the channel
color-coding that corresponds to the provided sheet of probe labels.
2. Identify the logic analyzer end of the probe. (See Figure 2 on page 5.)
3. Using a pair of fl at-nosed tweezers, place the tip of the tweezers under the
upper right corner of the logic analyzer-end label.
This will be the largest label of the fi ve labels. Grasp the corner of the label
and lift the label up and toward you.
4. Carefully align the label to the label indent located on the top of the logic
analyzer-end and apply the label.
5. Identify the four way stations. (See Figure 2 on page 5.)
Note that the logic analyzer end label contains two colors. From the logic
analyzer end follow one of the two colors down the length of the cable to
the way station.
6. Using a pair of fl at-nosed tweezers, place the tip of the tweezers under the
upper right corner of the matching color-coded way station.
Grasp the corner of the label and lift the label up and toward you.
7. Carefully align the label to the label indent located on the top of the way
station and apply the label.
8. Repeat step 7 for the second way station of the same color (but different label
shape).
9. Repeat the above steps for the other logic analyzer-end label colors.
After applying the labels to the probes, you are ready to connect the probes to
the logic analyzer.
