1. To install the probe, slide the probe body into the
FlexChannel or VPI receptacle. The probe clicks into
place when fully engaged.
2. Attach one of the following probe cables to the SMA
connector on the probe body:
SMA-to-SMA standard cable (standard accessory)
SMA-to-MMCX standard cable (standard accessory)
SMA-to-MMCX high-temperature cable (optional
accessory)
1 GHz browser probe cable (optional accessory)
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the probe, do not exceed
8 in-lbs torque on the SMA nut.
3. To disconnect the probe, press the latch release button and
pull away from the instrument.
Attaching MMCX accessories
Gently insert the MMCX end of the cable into one of the
following accessories: micro-coax tip, solder flex tip, u.fl
adapter or MMCX to square pin Y-lead adapter, until you feel
the connector engage. To remove an accessory, gently pull
from the MMCX connection point.
Attaching solder-in accessories
Micro-coax tip. For convenient first-time use, the solder
micro-coax tips are shipped pre-trimmed and ready t o be
soldered to the test point. You can reuse a tip by removing the
tip from the solder joint and then trimming the wire insulation
back to expose the center pin and ground shield on the tip cable.
To achieve the best measurements results with a trimmed tip,
refer to the TPR1000 and TPR4000 User Manual for guidelines
and a description of best practices.
Flex tip. To attach the solder flex tip, first solder the enameled
self-fluxing copper wire (standard accessory) to the test point.
Feed the wire through the vias on the end of the flex tip, and
then apply a small amount of solder to the vias to attach the
wire to the tip.
Using the optional 1 GHz browser
The optional 1 GHz browser kit contains the following parts:
1 GHz browser probe, square pin Y-lead adapter, micro-SMD
clip, three ground leads (alligator, blade, spring), and four
replacement probe-tip pins (two rigid, two spring loaded).
WARNING. To prevent injury to the operator or damage
to the probe, oscilloscope and device under test, do not
touch the probe ground to any point that is not at the same
potential as the chassis ground of the oscilloscope. The
probe ground must be connected to the same potential as
the chassis ground of the oscilloscope.
Installing ground leads. To obtain accurate measurements,
always attach a ground lead to the probe tip before making
measurements. It is recommended that you use the shortest
ground lead that will function in your electrical application. The
following illustration shows the browser probe tip, the tip cover
and the three types of grounds leads supplied with the browser.
To install the ground leads:
Spring: Slide the ground lead over the probe tip until it
seats around the metal portion of the probe-tip housing.
Alligator: Slide the ground lead prongs over the exposed
metal between the plastic probe-tip sections.
Blade: Loc
ate the slot in the probe-tip housing as shown
below. Slide the ground lead over the probe tip until the
blade slid
es into the slot.

Installation
NOTE. Your FlexChannel or VPI instrument may require a
software upgrade to support full functionality of the TPR1000
and TPR4000 probes. Before you connect the probe to an
oscilloscope, refer to the required software versions table at the
end of this document to check the version requirements.
Using the solder-pin installation tool
The supplied set of solder pins are intended to be installed
on DUT circuit boards and used with the supplied
MMCX-to-square-pin adapter. To install the solder pins, use
the supplied soldering-aide tool as described below .
NOTE. The solder pins are extremely small and can be
challenging to handle. It is recommended to use tweezers and a
magnifying tool when installing pins on a circuit board.
1. Carefully insert the solder pins into the soldering aide tool
as shown below.
2. Use the soldering a ide tool to hold the solder pins in place
while soldering the pins to the circuit board.
3. If necessary, apply a small amount of adhesive to further
strengthen the connection to the circuit board. However,
keep the height of the adhesive to a minimum to provide
good electrical contact for the adapter.
Using the tripod
The tripod probe support adds stability to square-pin mounted
test points. For more stability, use glue to attach the tripod legs
to the DUT circuit board.
