Out of curiousity:
--My scope has a max voltage rating of 300V at the inputs... I was at the local electronics store yesterday, and they had some probes 100mhz probes rated at 600V... If I were to use this probe, can I effectively test circuits up to this voltage (really looking to test tube circuits up to say 500V) on my scope without harm, or is that simply the max failure rating for the probe itself?
--Can I use a 100mhz probe with a 20mhz scope? I'm guessing yes, the probe can be used on all scopes up to 100mhz...
--The current probe for my scope (unfortunately I don't have the model of the scope, though I could check tonight) does not have a ground clip, rather a terminal on the scope itself... If the probe I'm lookin at purchasing has the ground clip, must I tie that to the ground reference on the scope, and carry that out to the circuit as ground?
