Probe Connection to TF-DSQ
The TF-DSQ provides multiple probe connectors for various kinds of probes. Probes are
connected electrically in either a single-ended or differential arrangement, depending on the
type of probe. Probes are connected mechanically using either the probing pads, or a probing
clip provided for solder-in probing solutions.
Figure 4-1. Probe Connection Points and the Clip
Differential probes are connected with the tip designated V+ mated to the "+" pad on the
fixture, and the tip designated V- to the "-" pad on the fixture. Single-ended probes are
connected with the probe tip connected to the V+ pad only, and the ground lead optionally
connected to ground. Solder-in probes have their appropriate tips held down to the microstrip
transmission line by the clip. Simply push down on the clip with your thumb, insert the probe
connection leads under the clip and release. Make sure that V+ and V- are connected properly.
