Probe Station

A step-by-step guide on working with the Probe Station

Last updated 11 months ago

To learn more about the hardware and software involved, refer:


Software

Probing the Chip

Connections

  1. If not using the tester adapter, connect W2 to the Gate probe and W1 to the Drain probe.

  2. The Source and Body probes must be connected to GND.

  3. The +1 & -1 connections should be connected around the drain resistor.

  4. +2 should be connected to the Drain terminal.

To-do:

Add images with the connections, more specifics.

  • simple mechanical probe manipulator

  • needs 4 probes (show where each of them are used)
