Silicon Explorer Quick Start
Connecting the
Probe Leads
Using the Probe Instrument
4
You can connect the probe leads by
attaching one of two supplied cable
assemblies.
One cable assembly terminates in
individual 0.025 receptacles that can
connect to 0.025 headers or micro-clips
according to the labels on the wires —
the other assembly interfaces directly to
the target board when a 16-pin header
is installed on the target according to
the pin-out shown in Figure 1.
The Probe A and B pins on the probe
connector may be selected as the source
for logic analyzer channels 1 and 2
respectively, by clicking on the # field in the waveform window
and selecting PRA or PRB as the source. Selecting the probe pins
as the source disables the CH1 and/or CH2 inputs from the
target cable assembly.
The following procedures describe how to use the Probe
Instrument.
To open a Probe file:
1. Launch The Silicon Explorer software. Select Silicon
Explorer from the Designer menu under Programs in the Start
menu.
2. Select a Probe (.prb) file to open. Select the Open
command from the File menu. Choose (*.prb) as the Files of
type and double click the desired probe file.
The Probe Instrument uses a .prb file during analysis, which
is exported from the Designer software. This file contains
device information, net names, and node location
information. This information is displayed in a tree structure
for verification by the user on the left side of the Analyze
window after a Probe file is opened.
