Diagnostic circuit test device
First Claim
1. A diagnostic circuit test device having multi-meter functionality and being adapted to provide current sourcing to an electrical system for selective measurement of a plurality of parameters thereof in at least one of powered and unpowered states, the diagnostic circuit test device comprising:
- a removable conductive probe element configured to be placed into contact with the electrical system and provide an input signal thereto, wherein various electrical testing accessories may be substituted for the conductive probe element via a probe jack;
a power supply interconnected between rechargeable internal power source and the conductive probe element, wherein circuitry suitable for charging the internal battery is interconnected between a charging port and the internal power source, the internal battery capable of being charged via a USB interface;
one or more processors electrically connected to the conductive probe element and configured to manipulate the input signal provided to the electrical system and receive an output signal in response to the input signal, the output signal being representative of at least one of the parameters of the electrical system;
a housing, comprising a shell that includes a relay test port;
a display device electrically connected to the one or more processors and configured to display a reading of the output signal, the reading being representative of the at least one of the parameters of the electrical system;
wherein the diagnostic circuit test device is configured to operate as a dual continuity tester, a load impedance detector, and a power output driver with over current protection; and
a speaker driver coupled to a speaker that is configured to handle the conversion of signals from the one or more processors to operate the speaker.

Abstract
An apparatus is provided for a diagnostic circuit test device having multi-meter functionality and being adapted to provide current sourcing to an electrical system for selective measurement of a plurality of parameters thereof in powered and unpowered states. The diagnostic circuit test device comprises a conductive probe element configured to be placed into contact with the electrical system and provide an input signal thereto. A power supply is interconnected between an internal power source and the conductive probe element. Processors are electrically connected to the conductive probe element and configured to manipulate the input signal provided to the electrical system and receive an output signal in response to the input signal. The output signal is representative of at least one of the parameters of the electrical system. A display device is configured to display a reading of the output signal which is representative of the parameter.
