  The restive transmission line probe is my favorite way to make a built in high speed test point. &nbsp;Because of cell-phones there are some absolutely TINY coax connectors. &nbsp;Many are less than 2.5mm on a side. &nbsp;Add a series resistor and you&apos;ve got a GHz bandwidth test point for 30-60 cents in &lt; 10mm^2 that securely hooks to the scope with a $5-10 of coax adapters. &nbsp;Easy to AC couple the test point as well, just &quot;tent&quot; a resistor and a cap in series.

  I’d love to see an automated test rig where that positional current probe is mounted on an automated XY stage and is scanned across an entire PCB to generate an image of where current is flowing.

  My DP20003 (5.6KV differential probe) was a real life saver when we were developing some equipment that went up do around 2.3KV. I hated that project, because you always needed to be 100% vigilant or you risked killing yourself or damaging the equipment.

  This really opened my eyes to the whole new worlds of higher end probes. I never realized there were so many types of them, and the I-Prober is indeed interesting to see in action.
