My Tek 222PS showed up today. It has the original P850 10x mini
probes, but it is missing the Industrial Lead Set (p/n 063-1079-00).
These are similar to standard DMM test leads except that the positive
(red) lead has a custom connector at one end of it into which you
plug the scope probe (after removing the probe tip). Then you use
whatever meter probe (alligator, straight, piercing, etc.) you wish
at the other end of the lead.
As a work-around, if I could find a mini test probe-to-banana
(female) adapter, this might allow me to use a standard set of DMM
probes.
I've Googled, but have yet to find this adapter. I do find mini test
probe-to-BNC, which as we all know will allow use of dual banana/BNC
fitting, but that is really hugely overkill (weighty and bulky) and
only one of the banana jacks will be useable (the ground connection
is not there at the probe tip, but at the back end of the probe).
Any idea where I can find a mini test probe-to-banana (f) adapter? Or
another creative solution?
Thanks,
Dave
