Hi Terry, list,

This is great fun.  As you'll remember I'm a great advocate of measuring
differential signals in TCs.  Always referencing everything to earth ground
often gives a distorted picture of what's really going on in TCs.

A couple of questions:  What do you intend to measure with your
differential probes?  Small voltage differences on a SS circuit board or
separated "antennae" signals from around the TC?  Makes a big difference in
design.  Especially the front ends.
