Ground Connector
It is essential to ground every tip
that is in use. For best perform-
ance at high speeds, every tip
should be grounded individually
to ground in the system under
test. For convenience in connect-
ing grounds, you can use the
ground connector, Agilent part
number 16515-27601, to combine
up to four probe tip grounds to
connect to one ground point in
the system under test.
Adapting to Coaxial Connectors
The Agilent E9638A probe tip to
BNC adapter can be used to
connect one of the flying lead
probes of the E5382A to a BNC
connector. To probe other coaxial
connectors, use the E9638A
adapter, a BNC termination, and
an adapter to the other type of
coaxial connector. Refer to
Figure 11.3.
