Extreme probing - [electronics test]

'Extreme probing' can be any probing situation in which, without proper consideration, it is possible to cause damage to probes and accessories, or make an unreliable or poor measurement. Common hacks that engineers use to make these measurements often have dire consequences when it comes to signal integrity. Other extreme situations will lead to probe failure no matter what steps are taken; in these cases there are several strategies that can help extend probe life as long as possible.
