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.
It's quite a nice analyser, so "play with it" gets my vote. It was also
quite popular, so I expect you could find manuals if you look/ask around.
I'm sure we have some 1611s or 1610s in the labs. If you want me to take
a look at them next week, shout. There's also a description of both
models, and several examples of use, in John Lenk's book "How To
Troubleshoot And Repair Microcomputers" -- which IMHO isn't a very good
book, but there seem to be lots of old copies of it about, and in
libraries.
