Can you imagine that on the chassis and probes of your scope ?


It's very simple really. Just remember to keep the scope grounded to the
DUT ground AND the probe clipped to the power node (X1 setting on the
probe) at ALL times and bob's your uncle, you can't go wrong. That way
you are only placing about 15pf || 1M loading on the DUT.
HTH.
