Probe label overview
Operating basics
The probe comes with color-coded labels to apply to the probe before connecting
the probe to the logic analyzer and to the SUT.
Figure 2: P5934 probe labels
The labeling scheme for th
packages and on the SUT for signal and channel assignments.
NOTE. Use one Pin 1 label for each probe connector. Do not use two labels with
a pin 1 indicator or two labels without a pin 1 indicator on a single probe.
The following tables describe the color-coded label combinations for 136- and
102-channel logic analyzers and for 68- and 34-channel logic analyzers. Use the
extra labels, as needed, from the label sheet.

Apply the labels to the probe
Attach the labels to the probe connector and to both sides of the probe tip.
NOTE. Use flat-nosed tweezers to remove the labels from the sheet of labels.
Never peel labels with your fingers. The labels are made of soft vinyl and can
stretch and distort easily. To avoid stretching the label, always hold it from the top
right corner while removing it from the sheet of labels.
The adhesive on the vinyl labels is extremely strong. Carefully align each label to
the intended outline on the probe connector and probe tip before attaching it to the
probe. Once labels are placed on the probe, they become very difficult to remove.

Inspect or clean the probe
The probe does not require scheduled or periodic maintenance. To maintain good
electrical contact, keep the probe free of dirt, d ust, and contaminants. Also, ensure
that any electrically conductive contaminants are removed.
Perform the following steps to clean the probe:
1. Keep the probes free of dirt, dust, and contaminants to maintain a reliable
electrical probe connection.
2. Remove dirt and dust with a soft brush.
3. Use only a damp cloth for more extensive cleaning.
