Abstract
An example probe for a test system includes a conductor to carry direct current (DC) signals between a DC testing resource and a signal trace on the test system, where the signal trace is for carrying the DC signals and alternating current (AC) signals to and from a device under test; and an inductor connected in series with the conductor. A mechanism is included in the probe for enabling the conductor to move toward the signal trace or a pin electrically connected to the signal trace to create an electrical connection between the conductor and the signal trace to enable the testing resource to transmit the DC signals to the signal trace, and to move away from the signal trace or the pin so that no electrical connection is created between the conductor and the signal trace when the DC signals are not to be transmitted to the signal trace.
