Patent ID: 7504842

Claim:
A system for probing a device under test comprising: (a) a probing device for probing said device under test, said probing device including a first conductive area, a second conductive area, a conductive elongate probing element connected to said first conductive area in a manner suitable to probe said device under test, and said first conductive area and said second conductive area electrically isolated from one another; (b) a probe housing 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 coupler electrically interconnects said first conductor, said third conductor, and said first conductive area when said probing device is engaged with said probe housing; (e) a second coupler electrically interconnects said second conductor and said fourth conductor with said second conductive area when said probing device is engaged with said probe housing.
