Abstract
A measurement probe has a probe tip coaxially disposed within one end of a elongate cylindrical outer conductor with the probe tip extending beyond the end of the outer conductor. A body of insulating material surrounds the outer conductor and a portion of the probe tip to provide electrical isolation between the probe tip and the outer conductor. A notch is formed in the insulating material distant from the probe tip to expose the outer conductor for providing an electrical connection between an outer conductor of a removable adapter and the elongate cylindrical outer conductor of the measurement probe. The measurement probe meets all safety standards for use as a floating measurement probe as well as being adaptable for providing a coaxial signal path having a common voltage ground.
