Getting Started
Product Description
Tektronix offers three types of probes for the TLA7S08 and TLA7S16 Serial
Analyzer modules:
Midbus probes
Slot interposer probes
Solder-down probes
Midbus Probes A midbus probe connects to a retention mechanism installed on your circuit board.
You must install the retention mechanism to either a PCI Express Gen1 or Gen2
footprint on your circuit board.
Tektronix offers the following midbus probes:
P6708 8-Channel Midbus probe
