ABSTRACT:
A system for simultaneously probing an electrical test circuit while remotely controlling the test equipment used to measure the probing. The probing is performed by the use of an electrical test probe of the type utilized with oscilloscopes or the like. Incorporated within the probe are switches adapted to detecting both lateral and longitudinal pressures exerted by the probe user. The lateral pressure is applied to the lower portion of the probe and depending upon the direction of the pressure causes a cursor displayed on the test equipment to move. The user moves the displayed cursor to the desired position, which position corresponds to a function or option of the test instrument. Upon selection, the user exerts a longitudinal force upon the probe, which force is detected by the probe and activates the selected function or option on the test instrument.
