GigaTest's manual probe station has the following features: * Large area for motherboards, backplanes and other PCBs and assemblies * X,Y and Z axis control of probe manipulators and probing stage (for probing large populated boards and other "3-D" structures) * Fine resolution positioners, accurate for fine-pitch packages or die-level/ on-wafer structures * Compatibility with standard micro-probes from Cascade Microtech and GGB Industries (Picoprobes) * Flexible Microscope and Video options We use this probing solution for nearly all of our TDR and S-parameter measurements, including multi-port, differential tests.
