I had SPI issue, the waveform is good with other scope(LeCroy) but malfunction.

But when I connect the SCK with Saleae probe, then the function suddenly turn to PASS.  
What’s the Saleae probe inside?  
Is that meaning I connect SCK with pull-down?

Could anyone comment on this?

Thanks!

@alex925chen Can you confirm which exact Saleae Logic model you own?

> **[How to Identify Each Saleae Device](https://support.saleae.com/faq/general-faq/identify-each-saleae-device)**

You can take a look at the datasheet for your specific device to get the input impedance values.

> **[Datasheets](https://support.saleae.com/datasheets-and-specifications/datasheets)**

It would also be good to know the following:

- How is your Saleae Logic connected to your DUT?
- How are your SPI signal traces laid out on your PCB?
- What is the input impedance of the LeCroy scope probes that you are using? It might be good to compare to ours to see what might be causing the difference.
- Does your DUT pass without any probes attached?
