Abstract:
A system for testing of a test device comprising:(a) a probing device for probing a site on said test device, said probing device including a dielectric substrate, a conductive path on said substrate, a probing element connected to said conductive path, and a conductive area on said substrate; (b) a probe housing matingly detachably engageable with said probing device; (c) said probe housing being engaged with both a first cable that includes a first conductor surrounded by a second conductor and a second cable including a third conductor surrounded by a fourth conductor; (d) a first conductive path that electrically interconnects said first conductor, said third conductor, and said conductive path when said probing device is engaged with said probe housing; and (e) a second conductive path that electrically interconnects said second conductor and said fourth conductor with said conductive area when said probing device is engaged with said probe housing, where said first conductive path is electrically isolated from said second conductive path.
