Teledyne LeCroy
The reference clock is captured separately with a dedicated probe cable. Considering the
possibility that one clock may be shared between two physically separated mid‐bus
probes, each mid‐bus probe pod is equipped with a reference clock output port. The
reference clock probe can capture signals from the target system or receive a duplicated
reference clock from another mid‐bus probe board.

Daisy Chain Cable (for x16 applications)
A single mid‐bus probe pod can capture traffic on bus widths up to x8. If x16 lane widths
are required (e.g., when using a Summit T3‐16 Analyzer with a x16 device), two Mid‐Bus
Probe Pods are required.
In this configuration, one of the pods is connected to the DUT to tap the Reference Clock
signal, and the second pod is "daisy‐chained" to the first pod using the PE009UCA‐X Daisy
Chain Cable. Connect the Ref Clock cable to the CLK IN port of the first pod, and connect
the Daisy Chain Cable between the CLK OUT port of the first pod and the CLK IN port of
the second pod.
