Connecting the
Probe Leads
You can connect the probe leads by
attaching one of two supplied cable
assemblies.
One cable assembly terminates in
individual 0.025 receptacles that can
connect to 0.025 headers or micro-clips
according to the labels on the wires —
the other assembly interfaces directly to
the target board when a 16-pin header
is installed on the target according to
the pin-out shown in Figure 1.
The Probe A and B pins on the probe
connector may be selected as the source
for logic analyzer channels 1 and 2
respectively, by clicking on the # field in the waveform window
and selecting PRA or PRB as the source. Selecting the probe pins
as the source disables the CH1 and/or CH2 inputs from the
target cable assembly.
Using the Probe Instrument
The following procedures describe how to use the Probe
Instrument.
To open a Probe file:
1. Launch The Silicon Explorer software. Select Silicon
Explorer from the Designer menu under Programs in the Start
menu.
2. Select a Probe (.prb) file to open. Select the Open
command from the File menu. Choose (*.prb) as the Files of
type and double click the desired probe file.
The Probe Instrument uses a .prb file during analysis, which
is exported from the Designer software. This file contains
device information, net names, and node location
information. This information is displayed in a tree structure
for verification by the user on the left side of the Analyze
window after a Probe file is opened.
