    • 2. A logic probe is placed on the output of a gate and the display indicator is dim. A logic pulser is used on each of the input terminals, but the output indication does not change. What is wrong?

    • Options
    • A. The dim indication on the logic probe indicates that the supply voltage is probably low.
    • B. The output of the gate appears to be open.
    • C. The LOW indication is the result of a bad ground connection on the logic probe.
    • D. The gate is a tri-state device.
