Trimming the Lead Wires of MX0100A Probe Head
Before soldering, trim the probe head's lead wires matching your DUT's geometry.
You can choose from the following lead wire lengths:
• 135 mil (3.4 mm) - The probe head is shipped with this factory-trimmed standard
• 60 mil (1.5 mm) - If your DUT's geometry allows you to use shorter lead wire

length. Use this lead wire length to accommodate variable-pitch targets. With
this length, you get the maximum convenience in terms of longer reach and the
available bandwidth is the full bandwidth of the probe amplifier being used
(1134B: 7 GHz, 1132B: 5 GHz, 1131B: 3.5 GHz, and 1130B: 1.5 GHz).
length, trim the wires to this length to get the maximum performance. Use this
lead wire length to accommodate small fine-pitch targets. The available
bandwidth is the full bandwidth of the probe amplifier being used (1134B: 7
GHz, 1132B: 5 GHz, 1131B: 3.5 GHz, and 1130B: 1.5 GHz).
You need to specify your choice of lead wire length (3.4 mm or 1.5 mm) in
N OT E
the Probe Configuration dialog box of the Infiniium software GUI. This allows
the software to load the appropriate s parameter file applicable to that wire
length. The s parameter file adjusts the frequency response to enhance the
measurements accuracy.
