I've got a project where we need to watch a pulse on another piece of
equipment. We do not want to load the circuit in the other piece of
equipment. Running a piece of coax to my equipment results in considerable
ringing, since the coax is not terminated. So, the question comes up, how
does a scope probe get away with a 1M load in the scope? I doubt that's
terminating the coax with its characteristic impedance. The idea of a 10X
probe with compensation is pretty clear... the trick is how do they deal
with the lack of termination?

Ideas?

THANKS!

Harold
