Abstract
A low inductance probe contains a signal probe shaft having a signal probe point and an adjacent ground conductor or conductive shield for placing on the circuit location which is desired to be measured, a ground probe arm having a ground probe point for placing on a convenient ground location. The ground probe arm is attached to the signal probe shaft by means of a hinge which enable the ground probe arm to rotate between zero and approximately 135 degrees in a compass like fashion. The ground conductor of the signal probe shaft and the ground probe point of the ground probe arm are electrically connected by means of a low inductance ground lead consisting of a monolithic, flexible strand of conductive foil.
