I will be using my scope to work on a Tandon floppy drive using the SM as a guide. I'm not an expert when it comes to using a scope, but I've successfully used it for a number of projects. However, I've never had to externally trigger it like the SM requires for a couple procedures (two probes and an external trigger). I know my scope requires a BNC connected lead for this purpose, but I can't find any information about the required lead. Is it just a standard BNC to clip or grabber? If so, after I connect the red lead to the test point, so I need to connect the ground to the same point as the probes, or is this un-necessary as the probes are already connect to the ground point? I know my scope came with the cable, but I cannot find it, nor remember what the test end looked like, so I need to order one.
If it is of interest, I will be using a Tektronix 465. Not the newest of scopes, but it gets the job done.
