I like the way scope probes have a tip that hooks onto a component lead, and a little alligator clip for the ground. So I thought I could use a passive scope probe in the X1 position on my DVM too. I hooked one up with a BNC-bannana adapter, but it turns out that there seems to be a series resistance of about 250 ohms, which is inconvenient for resistance measurements. I got the same result from several probes.

My question is, what's going on here? Schematics of probes I found all showed that in the X1 position they were straight through.
