Probing class lecture - early preview

Lecture on oscilloscope probing, introducing many types of probe and discussing

* Theory of operation
* Tricks for maximizing performance
* Non-idealities and limitations
* Pros and cons vs other probe designs

This is a practice/test session for a class I will be teaching in the future, to test pacing and gather early student feedback. The final class will be approximately half a day and include both lecture and lab components.
