Fig 4-3 Schematic diagram of probe board
Hardware structure of the probe board is shown as the figure above:
Functions of the probe board are:
Supports 256/192/128elements probes, 4D probes, 128/96/64-elements phased array probes
and TEE probes;
Probe board only supports 128 channels; for 192/256elements probe, elements switching is
performed in the probe to match 128 channels on board. Including four 260-pin probe sockets.
Supports 4 probe ports switching and ID recognition of probes on every port. The circuits for
ID recognition and probe switching are independent.
Supports echo signal channel switching, outputting CW signal independently which can
improve CW signal-noise ratio.
