Preface
viii P5934 Logic Analyzer Probe Instruction Manual

Operating basics
This section provides a brief description of the Tektronix P5934 Mass Termination
Logic Analyzer Probe, information on attaching color-coded probe labels, and
instructions for connecting the probe and adapters from the logic analyzer to
the SUT (system-under-test).
Product description
The P5934 probe connects 34 logic analyzer channels directly to the SUT or to a
microprocessor probe adapter on the SUT.
The probe acquires data from 32 input or output signals and two clocks, one clock
and one qualifier, or two qualifier signals.
Figure 1: P5934 Mass Termination Probe
The following list describes the capabilities and qualities of the P5934 probe:
Single-ended data and single-ended clock inputs
Consists of one independent probe tip of 34 channels (32 data and 2
clock/qualifiers), and two 17-channel probe connectors
Provides a means of connecting multiple channels to be quickly connected to
a small footprint on the SUT

Operating basics
Probe label overview
The probe comes with color-coded labels to apply to the probe before connecting
the probe to the logic analyzer and to the SUT.
Figure 2: P5934 probe labels
The labeling scheme for the probe occurs on most microprocessor support
packages and on the SUT for signal and channel assignments.
NOTE. Use one Pin 1 label for each probe connector. Do not use two labels with
a pin 1 indicator or two labels without a pin 1 indicator on a single probe.
The following tables describe the color-coded label combinations for 136- and
102-channel logic analyzers and for 68- and 34-channel logic analyzers. Use the
extra labels, as needed, from the label sheet.

Apply the labels to the probe
Attach the labels to the probe connector and to both sides of the probe tip.
NOTE. Use flat-nosed tweezers to remove the labels from the sheet of labels.
Never peel labels with your fingers. The labels are made of soft vinyl and can
stretch and distort easily. To avoid stretching the label, always hold it from the top
right corner while removing it from the sheet of labels.
The adhesive on the vinyl labels is extremely strong. Carefully align each label to
the intended outline on the probe connector and probe tip before attaching it to the
probe. Once labels are placed on the probe, they become very difficult to remove.
4 P5934 Logic Analyzer Probe Instruction Manual

Operating basics
To apply labels to the probe, complete the following steps:
1. Locate the labels that you need for the probe from the provided label sheets,
but do not peel them off yet.
If you need help determining which labels to use, see the following steps:
a. Determine which channel group on the logic analyzer that you want to
connect the probe; note the color-coded labels on the logic analyzer.
b. Look at the label sheets and locate the labels that match the logic analyzer
channel group that you need to use. Notice that there are two different
sizes of labels for each channel group:
Probe-tip labels (smaller)
Probe connector labels (larger)
Blank labels (custom channel combinations not recommended)
2. Locate the probe-tip connector on the probe.
Figure 3: Locating the probe-tip connector
3. Locate the pin 1 side of the probe-tip connector by using the end view of the
probe-tip connector.
The position of the bent waves, the angled ends, are on the pin 1 side.

5. Applythepin1s
ide label to the pin 1 side of the probe-tip connector.
NOTE. You can also use the small pin 1 recess or the beveled corners on the probe
tip end of the connector, but both are difficult to find. (See Figure 5 on page 6.)
Figure 5: Other indicators for pin 1 side
6. Apply the associated pin 38 side label to the probe tip. (See Figure 6.)
If necessary, see the color-coded combination tables on the previous pages
for label information.

Operating basics
7. Apply the probe connector labels to the probe connectors. (See Figure 7 on
page 7.)
To avoid mislabelling, hold the probe-tip in your hand and follow the cable
to the probe connector. Match the color of the probe connector label to the
probe-tip label.
