AFAIR the ordinary probes are just micro-hooks on single wires, which plug
into a little distribution box on the end of a ribbon cable.
Are you _sure_? Every logic analyser that I have ever worked with has
quite a bit of circuitry in the 'pod'. Both Gould and Tektronix had some
(custom) high-speed comparator hybrid circuits in the pods. Even the HP
LogicDart has something moulded into the probe connector, I think.
There IS a lot of circuitry in the HP LA pods. I've taken a few apart
and it's packed full. I have extra pods for the 1610 & 1615 but I don't
know if they're the same ones that are used on the 1611.
