P6418 Labels
Refer to Figure 2 and use the following steps to attach the probe labels:
1. Identify the module end of the probe cable.
2. From the sheet of labels, locate the color-coded label for the module end of
the probe cable.
NOTE. When you install the labels on the P6417 probe, make sure that you select
the correct label for module end of the probe. The labels that connect to both
ends of the probe look similar, but differ in information content. Refer to Figure
2 to ensure you have selected the correct label.
3. Attach the matching colored label to the area on the other end of the probe
cable.
Refer to Figure 2 and use the following steps to attach the probe labels:
1. From the sheet of labels, locate the color-coded labels.
2. Install the correct label on the module end of the probe.
3. Locate the two labels for the podlet connectors, and attach a label on each
connector of the probe.
NOTE. Make sure that you attach the labels to the correct podlet connector. For
example, make sure that the A3 section at the podlet connector aligns with the
A3 section of the module end of the probe. The podlet connector adjacent to the
clock podlet has the higher-numbered channel group (if necessary, lay the probe
out on a flat surface so you can trace the channel groups from the module end of
the probe to the podlet connector end).

Maintenance
Perform the following steps to complete the probe functional verification
procedure:
1. Ensure that the jumper at J15 on the adjustment/verification fixture is in the
INT position to select the internal 50.065 MHz clock.
2. Open the Setup window for the LA module which will be used to test the
probes.
3. Click the Set Thresholds button to display the Probe Threshold dialog box.
4. Adjust the threshold level to 700 mV for all channels.
5. Connect the acquisition probe to be tested to the C3/C2 channel group on the
LA module.
6. Refer to Figure 8 and connect the podlets of the acquisition probe to J1 and
J2 on the adjustment/verification fixture. Ensure that you connect the ground
side of the podlets to the ground side of the adjustment/verification fixture
connectors.
7. Connect the single clock (CK n) or the qualifier (Q n) channel to one of the
J3 CLK OUT connector pairs on the adjustment/verification fixture.
8. Return to the Setup window and click the Show Activity button to display
the Activity Monitor.
9. Verify that the Activity Monitor shows activity on all probe channels
connected to the test fixture.
Figure 9 shows an example of the Activity Monitor. Note the signal activity
for clock CK3 and data channels for the C3(7-0) and C2(7-0) groups. Also
note that there is no activity on the other groups because the probe podlets
are not connected to a signal source (the channels are all high).
