Although you can buy a commercial probe, here is one I designed to fit a probe
case I had.
Specification.
Supply 0V & +5V @ 10mA to 0V & +12V @ 25mA
Input Z > 15k
Logic 0 range 0V to 1V
Logic 1 range Supply to Supply less 1V
Single full level pulse detection > 10MHz.

Circuit Description.
Both power rail transistors T1 & T2 are normally on, shorting out the HI &
LOW indicating LED, unless the probe is within 1V of ground or the +ve rail.
When that occurs one of the shorting transistor across the LED is tuned off &
the appropriate logic 1 or 0 LED lights.
Pulses of Logic 0 from T2 feed through the 10nF cap to diode detector to turn
on T4 with the pulses. T4 discharges a 4u7 Cap to hold on the pulse indicator
LED. Pulses only of logic 1 from T1 do the same for TR3, which turns on T4 to
light the LED as before.

HI/LOW 50:1 ON DIM ON
Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
