3 Connecting the Probe to the DUT
This chapter describes the different ways of connecting the probe to the DUT. In
addition, the usage of the supplied accessories is explained.
To achieve optimum RF performance, the connections must be as short as possi-
ble. If long connections cannot be avoided, they have to be preferably used for
the ground socket.
Risk of injuries
The included probe pins are exceptionally sharp and must be handled with
extreme care. To prevent injuries, always use tweezers when inserting or
removing pins.
Pins
Signal pin
The signal pin is held to the DUT to tap off the
measurement signal. It fits into the signal
socket and is designed for various applica-
tions, e.g. measurements on SMT resistors, IC
pins, conductors or vias.
If necessary, the signal pin can also be sol-
dered to the DUT.
