	[[NeoScan]]® real-time field measurement and scanning system is a turnkey, electric or magnetic field probe and measurement system. It can be configured as a near-field scanning system for mapping aperture-level field distributions with minimal invasiveness to the device or system under test. Or it can be used as a real-time field probe system for sensing or detecting electric and magnetic fields in a variety of media.

 During the scan or optimization process, the probe will be mounted on a plastic probe fixtures. The plastic probe fixtures has been mounted on translation stage by a single cap screw and holds the probe (Figure 2.10). The probe is positioned inside the gap located on probe holder and is secured by a cap which is fastened by screws as shown in Figure 2.11.

 Two black markers on the tangential probe indicate the E-field sensitivity direction (probes’ polarization direction). They should be oriented along the electric field in order to detect the maximum signal, see Figure 2.14.

Tighten the screws until you feel that you are not able to rotate the probe by your fingers.
