Self sensing probes for oscilloscope
G7PSK:
I wasn't thinking of cutting the probe lead, the box would have a socket one side and plug the other, all the box would do is carry the sense circuit connections.
nctnico:
Then you still insert a strange piece of cable and connectors in the probe's signal path. For low frequencies that is not a problem but when pushing to several tens of MHz the extra cable may impair the signal. Maybe you could make an extension plug which is very short.
robrenz:
Mount a 3 position micro size switch in the scope next to each bnc. Wire internally for the 2 different resistances on 10x and 100x. This way you are not interfering with the signal path at all. And when in 1x mode it will still accept the original probes with the auto sensing.
