Hi everyone,

Does anyone has a good suggestion on a reliable probe positioner (hopefully less $$$)? My group is working on a project right now that requires moinitoring a signal on an oscilloscope over a long period of time and it would be very handy if we don't have to hold it manually...

Thanks,

Pierce
 

For low frequency signals you can make up a BNC TG58 cable with two crocodile clips on the other side
 

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. We actually need to probe the signal directly on an IC pin using an active probe. The kind of stuff we are looking for idealy would somewhat be similar to Agilent N2784A but obviously with less cost.

Why don't you get the correct IC measuring gizmo. Its a wide plastic clip with gold plated contacts that align with the IC pins with pins on the top that you can solder to. like this :-
