[SI-LIST] Re: DDR2 Signal Probing on SODIMM

I try to avoid probing DDR signals whenever possible but if I have to these 
work wonders even on vertical boards using the vias as signal contact points. 
You have to get the adapters for your scope probe model ? obviously the default 
probe tip they sell is good for DC only!

  Of course it is extremely difficult to simultaneously ground the 1" scope 
probe ground. However, I have done tests comparing the 1" ground, 2" and 3" 
ground to a nearby soldered post @ 200 Mhz and I did not see a large difference 
in signal quality for my purposes. Of course I highly recommend that you 
perform your own tests if you use this method.

What is the best way to probe the DDR Signals on SODIMM?Is there any
readymade solution(in terms of Connectors) available to probe the DDR
SODIMM signals?
I am facing issue in probing the signals on SODIMM as the via's are very
small and moreover it becomes difficult to hold the probes on these
vias.
In my attempt I have used some wire straps with Damp Resistors and
soldered them on the vias.But just want to understand if there is some
other better way to do this. 
Thanks & Regards,
