Survey says:  True

 

I placed a custom probe on a cluster and put a custom state on each of the data types.  It worked for each.  Correct me if I'm wrong....

a) within the custom probe there is a generic probe.

Even generic probe cannot be used to all the data types. There is no such a choice for string array and queue out when I tried. But since the question is "multiple data types", not "all data types", I will choose "TRUE".

I am pretty sure that "generic probe" is just pointing back to the default probe.

Answer: B, nice one all.

 

Not a particularly well written question this one.  What I was trying to say is that a Custom Probe has a defined input data type.  If you right click on a wire to select a Custom Probe, only Custom Probes with the correct data type show up in the right click shortcut menu.

 I cannot really understand the question .. can you even create a custom probe?

Hi Mohamed_Hany, can create a Custom Probe with a right click on the wire you want to probe and then by following the right click menu  structure as shown below.
