To test the cables (16700-series Mainframe)

This test allows you to functionally verify the logic analyzer cable and an Agilent

E5379A probe.

Equipment Required

1 Connect the logic analyzer to the stimulus board.

a Connect an Agilent E5379A 100-pin differential probe to the logic

analyzer cable (also called “Pod”) to be tested.

b Connect the probe input to the stimulus board connector Pod 4.

c Connect the stimulus board power supply output to the stimulus board

power supply connector J82.

d Plug in the stimulus power supply to line power. The green LED DS1
