Hello everyone! Thanks for all the great responses. I looks like it will boil down to creating something own. @Florian: Excellent idea with the DIL socket! I already thought about putting together something own, but those sockets for the tip connection didn't come to my mind. Other probes suitab

> I just looked at your mentioned Textronix probe Phillip. U shouldn't use such a probe if you want low interference because it has a very high RC load in the R component. Maybe U should use a classic 10M Ohm probe instead and connect that to a 1 MOhm scope? My impression is that your probe is

It is possible to hold probe a little bit above the point, amplitude will however not be accurate. Rugoski coil is also useful for high frequency measurements of currents but not low frequency or DC. Nicklas Karlsson On Tue, 17 Mar 2015 22:21:45 +0100 Philipp Burch wrote: > Hi everyone, >
