Agilent Logic Analyzer Probes

Probing is the key to effective and efficient use of a logic analyzer. Agilent Technologies offers a wide variety of probing accessories that support general-purpose and application-specific measurement needs. We provide reliable, electrically and mechanically unobtrusive probes that make it easy to connect your Agilent logic analyzer to your system under test

Soft Touch Connectorless Probes

Accurate, easy logic analyzer measurements start at the probe tips. The Agilent soft touch probes meet the need for quick, easy, and repeatable signal access without having to design a connector into your devices.

Key Features and Specifications

• < 0.7 pF capacitive loading ensures signal quality
• Eliminates the need for gold plating or special board processes, stiffeners, handling, and cleaning
• Proprietary micro spring-pin technology provides reliable contact to signal pads even when probing uneven or contaminated circuit board surfaces
• High signal density in small footprint
• Supports single-ended or differential signals
• Compatible with Agilent's full line of logic analyzer products
• E5400A Series soft touch probes provide a new industry standard interface with a footprint that is 30% smaller than original soft touch probes

Flying Lead Probes

flying lead set is the tool to use when probing points are dispersed on your target or a probing point was not designed in. This probe can be connected to designed-in connectors or used with the included IC test clip to attach to components and other board features. This probe can be used with any Agilent logic analyzer with a 40-pin cable connector. The ability to connect to individual signals allows immense flexibility for logic analyzer users to measure signals they might not be able to measure otherwise.

Key Features and Specifications

• Acquire signals from randomly located points in your target
• Quick and easy connection to random signals as needed
• Support for single-ended and differential signals

Mictor Probes

Mictor probes provide a convenient and easy way to connect an Agilent logic analyzer to your target system. These probes provide an alternative to directly probing a chip and are an excellent solution for challenging packages such as BGA and TQFP. Simply design the AMP Mictor connectors onto the board for the critical signals you need.

Key Features and Specifications

• High density connection provides 32 channels of logic analysis per connector with two clocks
• Small footprint that consumes minimal board space
• 34 channels, single-ended clock and data
• Support shrouds available for board thickness to 0.120 inches
• Capable of data rates up to 600Mb/s (maximum rate dependent on analyzer used)

Samtec Probes

Agilent's Samtec probes provide a convenient and reliable connection to your target through a Samtec connector designed into your target. This connector based probe improves upon previous generation connector based logic analyzer probes and offers low loading in a small, surface mount footprint. These probes can be used with a support shroud in environments where accidental unplugging of the probe is a concern. This probe can be used with any Agilent logic analyzer with a 40-pin cable connector.

Key Features and Specifications

• Minimizes loading with 1.5 pF input capacitance
• Small footprint that consumes minimal board space
• Support for single-ended and differential signals
• Support shrouds available for board thickness to 0.120 inches
