The E2941B Soft Touch Midbus Probes increases the flexibility
of the protocol analyzer by enabling a direct connection to the
circuit board using a standard midbus footprint.
With the E2941B Soft Touch Midbus Probe, you can analyze
high- speed ASI and PCI Express chip- to- chip communications
without interfering with the signals. The Soft Touch Probe uses
micro spring- pin technology to provide a reliable connection to
the signal pads without the need for special cleaning or special
surface finishes.
The E2941B is the midbus probe for PCI Express applications
and supports Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC) with the
external reference clock. If E2941B is used in the context of ASI,
the external clock cable need not to be connected because ASI
does not support SSC.
