Customer Requirements:
- The customer wanted a small footprint, a multi-purpose probing system configured with DC and HF frequency manipulators that could probe devices up to 110 GHz. The system needed to be compact to allow them to ship to multiple users in Canada. Manipulators with frequency extender mounts needed to be designed to mechanically clamp to SemiProbe as well as competitive probe system platens.
