To test the cables

This test allows you to functionally verify the logic analyzer cable and the flying

lead probe of any of the logic analyzer pods. Only one probe and cable can be

tested at a time. Repeat this test for each probe and cable to be tested. Two

Flying Lead Probes are required if you need to test pods other than Pod 1

because the clock from Pod 1 will be used to acquire data.
