Probe Assessment Tool (ePAT)
This test checks the functionality and sensitivity of probe elements.
NOTE:
Matrix array probes (1.25 and 1.5 arrays) cannot be tested with ePAT.
Pre-work
Detach all probes and run DBMG tests (CSD - Diagnostics - HW Tests) to make sure that there is no
defective FrontEnd hardware component that interferes the ePAT test.
ePAT Procedure
NOTICE
•
Clean probes before the test. Any remaining coupling gel will disturb
measurements.
•
Do not allow the probe head to hang free. Impact to the probe head could result in
irreparable damage.
•
For Volume probes (e.g., RAB, RIC,....), which are filled with oil, it is recommended
to position the head horizontally in such a way that any air bubbles are moved
away from the array. Wait some seconds until air bubbles are surely moved aside.
