Hello,
I'm getting ready to use my logic analyzer for the first time today. I've decided to try out my 16717A module. I'm having some questions though.
Here's a link to the information on the 16717A:
This is the terminology I'm using, please correct me if I'm wrong.
The cables that hook directly into the 16717A are called probes. At the end of each probe, there's a header for a pod. A pod hooks into the probes. Each pod has 18 wires, 0-15, GND and CLK. I know what to do with the CLK and GND. I'm hooking those little grabbers up to each wire. This is where I'm getting confused.
Each wire that comes off the pod has a little connector on it. One has a wire coming off of it. This wire I hook into the grabber. The other part of the connector says the word GND. What is that for? Do I really need to hook a gnd to each and every wire? That'd be insane. I can send pics if you guys want to see what I'm talking about so it's more clear.
