Abstract

A probe is connectable to a test instrument for measuring signals of a DUT, where the probe includes a probe head that includes multiple leads configured to connect to signal probe points of the DUT, and a sensor connected between two of the leads; at least one probe output configured to connect to the test instrument; a current detection circuit configured to detect current of the DUT through the sensor, and to provide a detected current signal; a voltage detection circuit configured to detect voltage of the DUT between the sensor and ground, and to provide a detected voltage signal; a combiner configured to combine the detected current signal and the detected voltage signal, and to provide a power signal indicating power of the DUT; and switches configured to selectively output at least one of the detected current signal, the detected voltage signal, and the power signal.
