Figure 1–3: Placing a PGA probe adapter onto the SUT
To connect the logic analyzer to a SUT using a PLCC probe adapter, follow these
steps:
1. Turn off power to your SUT. It is not necessary to turn off the logic analyzer.
CAUTION.
Static discharge can damage the microprocessor, the probe adapter,
the probes, or the module. To prevent static damage, handle all of the above only
in a static-free environment.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap or similar device while handling the
microprocessor and probe adapter.
2. To discharge your stored static electricity, touch the ground connector located
on the back of the logic analyzer. Then, touch any of the ground pins of the
probe adapter to discharge stored static electricity from the probe adapter.
3. Place the probe adapter onto the antistatic shipping foam to support the probe
as shown in Figure 1–4. This prevents the circuit board from flexing.
4. Remove the microprocessor from your SUT.
