Manual Entry Probe/SV SNR Protocols

This document contains the Non-Proprietary protocols for Testing Probe-S and Probe-P SNR. Refer to Probe/SV Calibration and SNR Tests for the complete calibration procedure, and substitute the protocols below, for the Service protocols listed.

Refer toTable 1 for the non-proprietary Probe-S SNR Protocol.
For TwinSpeed, add the GradMode field, WHOLE or ZOOM.
Refer to Table 2 for the non-proprietary Probe-P SNR Protocol.
For TwinSpeed, add the GradMode field, WHOLE or ZOOM.
