misprobe

Etymology

Definitions

1. 1

   To probe incorrectly.

   • The pocket pocket was probably misprobed originally, because of the lack of standardization of probing.
   • Once a probe machine goes out-of-control, it will continue to misprobe wafers unless detected and corrected.
   • Even if your thermometer is miscalibrated or you misprobe the meat and it's only reached a temperature of 155°F / 68°C, the pasteurization time for chicken at this temperature is less than a minute, which you're likely to exceed.
2. 2

   An instance of misprobing.

   • When collecting signatures for storage, duplicate measurements are flagged to alert to a possible misprobe.
   • This is particularly important when probing with a hand-held probe, on a densely populated board, since such boards are especially susceptible to misprobes.
   • Software that allows misprobe recovery by starting in the middle of the sequence, as close to the misprobe as possible, reduces diagnostic time considerably.
