5 Installation of the Universal (2-piece) Gen2 Mid-bus Probe
Retention Module
The Teledyne LeCroy Universal Retention Module is designed for use in Gen2 (or Gen1) mid-bus probe
applications. The module comes in two sections, which allows the same module for either full-size or
half-size mid-bus probe footprints. In this example, we will illustrate the steps to install the module, using
the full-size footprint as an example. (Please note that in the illustrations, a full-size header is shown. The
Gen2 Mid-bus Probe kit for the summit T24 uses a half-size header, but the steps for installation are the
same).
1. Ensure that the probe footprint on the target PCB is clean and free from obstructions.
2. Align one of the pair of identical module ends into the pin hole at one end of the probe footprint.
Note that the module end has two sets of pins: the short pins should face out, and the longer pins
are inserted into the PCB.
3. Insert the module end into the PCB.
