I started making an amplifier for built-in generators. The amplitude of 2.5V is very small, I think to make the gain by 2 or 10.
I sometimes need to emulate the sensor signal in industrial 24V equipment.

It's already been done for the MSO5000, on the threads here somewhere.

Unfortunately, I didn't see it. My idea is to make a board/adapter that simultaneously fits into both the sockets of the built-in generator and the USB connector nearby. You can take power from USB for this device.

I too thought about designing a PCB that plugged into the USB & the 2 BNC connectors but, if you want to use the USB port for more than 1 thing e.g. mouse, USB drive, power for your voltage doubler, your approach will be problematic.  I use SMA connectors so I think a better idea is to build a single PCB that has 2 SMA inputs and outputs, plus a 5-12V power input.  Then you can use SMA-SMA cables with a SMA-BNC adapter at the scope end and choose where the power comes from, either from the USB (directly or via a small hub, which is what I use), or from a bench power supply.

It is not a problem to make an end-to-end USB channel from the oscilloscope's USB connector to the USB connector on the amplifier's PCB.
Along the way we can take away a bit of power for the amplifier. I don't like free-standing boxes. :)

Yes, that is a good idea.  One question is to make sure that the 5V supply from the USB connection doesn't bring noise into the amplifiers.
