I like the Tektronix probe holders.=20 http://www.tek.com/site/ps/0,,60-15111-INTRO_EN,00.html Also, it is possible to use a differential probe even though the signal isn't differential. Connect the - tip to a nearby ground. =20 -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alex Horvath Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 2:08 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [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! =20 http://www.agdevices.com/pages/product/qp/qpmain.html =20 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.=20 Sharma Rajeev-B01961 <B01961@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi All, 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.=20 Thanks & Regards, Rajeev Sharma=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at:=20 //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: =20 //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu =20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
