Steve,
I don't think i understood you correctly about getting a new pair.  Maybe i 
should state my problem more numerically. With the setup i have one pair of 
probes (port 1 and 2) which are less than 200um in pitch and other pair of 
probes (port 3 and 4) which are more than 800um in pitch.  As for why the 
change, it is a new structure.
thanks again,
Virendra

trouble to me.  I would go out 
and buy a match to the new pair or exchange the new pair for a match 
with the old pair.  Why did you change geometry?

Steve.
