At home Depot, I found a GFI adaptor plug (actually, it is called a GFCI
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) & Surge Protector Plug. It has a
catalog No. 07524.61.05, in a line of "Carol Plug-it Extension Cord
Accessories" by General Cable Corp. Cost about $15. Comes in a small
black box (~2" X 4") with yellow writing - easy to miss. It is a yellow
adaptor that you plug into the outside outlet of your house, with a
single 3-prong receptacle on the front. I then plug a multi-outlet strip
into it to provide GFI protection for however many devices I want to use
at the scope. I like this one because I can use it anywhere I have
access to AC, rather than the hard-wired receptacle that has already
been mentioned. Of note, I had previously asked 2 salespeople at this
home depot if they had one and where it might be. THey both said such a
thing did not exist, and had no idea where to look!
Good luck.
