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.

You must be meaning X10 setting. Common scope inputs as well as probes
are not designed to handle the typical peaks from power supplies at X1.

The quote function musta got screwed up. I always use 10X unless I really need the gain, which is rare. I also recommend others use the 10X at all times as well. Not only does it reduce circuit loading, it also protects the scope to some extent.

Not the first time Usenet quoting got screwed up. I expect to see on a quote of a quote and on a direct quote but it seems not to work that way all the time.
