Create a Quality Connection to Your
Target System
To make sure you have the tools
for dependable state and timing
measurements, no matter what
mix of chip packages, test ports
and probes your application
requires, we’ve created the
largest line of probing solutions
in the industry.
Accurate measurements start
with reliable probing. Agilent
Technologies offers a wide variety
of probing accessories to support
your measurement needs, making
it easy to connect your Agilent
logic analyzer to your design.
Each is designed for a specific
measurement need because the
physical and electrical quality of
the connection can mean the dif-
ference between a good measure-
ment and a bad one.
