Analysis Probe A probe con-
nected to the target microprocessor.
It provides an interface between the
signals of the target microprocessor
and the inputs of the logic analyzer.
Connector Board A board whose
only function is to provide connec-
tions from one location to another.
One or more connector boards might
be stacked to raise a probe above a
target micoprocessor to avoid me-
chanical contact with other
components installed close to the tar-
get microprocessor.
Elastomeric Probe Adapter A
connector that is fastened on top of
a target microprocessor using a re-
tainer and knurled nut. The
conductive elastomer on the bottom
of the probe adapter makes contact
with pins of the target microproces-
sor and delivers their signals to
connection points on top of the
probe adapter.
Emulation Module An emulation
module is installed within the main-
frame of a logic analyzer. It provides
run control within an emulation and
analysis test setup. See Emulation
Probe.
Emulation Probe An emulation
probe is a stand-alone instrument
connected to the mainframe of a
logic analyzer. It provides run con-
trol within an emulation and analysis
test setup. See Emulation Module.
Flexible Adapter Two connec-
tion devices coupled with a flexible
cable. Used for connecting probing
hardware on the target microproces-
sor to the analysis probe.
General-purpose Flexible Adapter
A cable assembly that connects the
signals from an elastomeric probe
adapter to an analysis probe. Nor-
mally, a male-to-male header or
transition board makes the connec-
tions from the general-purpose
flexible adapter to the analysis probe.
High-Density Adapter Cable A
cable assembly that delivers signals
from an analysis probe hardware in-
terface to the logic analyzer pod
cables. A high-density adapter cable
has a single Mictor connector that is
installed into the analysis probe, and
two cables that are connected to cor-
responding odd and even logic
analyzer pod cables.
High Density Termination Adapter
Cable Same as a High Density
Adapter Cable, except it has a termi-
nation in the Mictor connector.
