4. Carefully tighten the probe to the target by using the two thumbscrews. The thumbscrews
should be screwed in only finger-tight.
Caution: The probe is delicate equipment. Please tighten the thumbscrew carefully while
watching the LEDs on the probe pod. Over-tightening the probe header might
damage the miniature probing spring pins.
5. Connect the four probe cables to the mid-bus probe pod ports marked A[0-3], B[0-3], A[4-7]
and B[4-7], using the labels on the cables to match each cable to the correct connector on
the pod. The mid-bus probe pod amplifies the signal and sends it to the analyzer. The PCIe
3.0 (Gen3) probe pod is shown below.
6. If you intend to use the analyzer's reference clock, connect the three pin clock cable to the
port marked "Clk In" (Reference Clock In) on the mid-bus probe pod.
7. Connect the other end of the clock cable to the three-pin reference clock header on the PCI
Express board. Orientation of the cable does not matter.
8. Connect the single-headed end of the Y-cable to the pod port marked “Analyzer.” See figure
on next page.
