Abstract
A modular active test probe and removable tip module therefor. Within the scope of the invention, there is a probe tip module comprising a first probe tip adapted for probing a circuit under test to receive a signal therefrom. The probe tip module includes an amplifier having a first input solidly connected to the probe tip, an output connected to an output connector, and a housing for supporting the probe tip, the amplifier, and the output connector. A probe body is cooperatively adapted with the housing for repeatably removably receiving at least the output connector.

26. A modular active test probe for probing a circuit and transmitting at least one signal therefrom to a signal measuring apparatus, said test probe comprising:
-
(a) a probe tip module comprising (i) a first probe tip adapted for probing the circuit to receive a first signal; (ii) an amplifier having an input having a first impedance and an output having a second impedance; (iii) said amplifier input solidly connected to said probe tip to form a solid connection therebetween; (iv) said amplifier output connected to an output connector; and (v) a housing for supporting said probe tip, said amplifier, and said output connector; and (b) a probe body cooperatively having an input connector for repeatably removably receiving said output connector to form a repeatably removable connection therebetween.
