Interference with Target System

Capacitive Loading on
Excessive capacitive loading can degrade signals, resulting in
the Target System
suspicious data or even system lockup. All analysis probes add
capacitive loading, as can custom probes you design for your target. To
reduce loading, remove as many pin protectors, extenders, and
adapters as possible.
Careful layout of your target system can minimize loading problems
and result in better margins for your design. This is especially
important for systems running at frequencies greater than 50 MHz.
