1. A wireless diagnostic system comprising:
- an end point device configured to transmit data to a first wireless transceiver located on the end point device, the first wireless transceiver configured to convert the data to wireless data, the first wireless transceiver wirelessly transmitting the wireless data on one or more channels;
a probe including a second wireless transceiver for enabling wireless communication with the end point device, the probe configured to wirelessly monitor the end point device for the wireless data and to wirelessly receive the wireless data when the probe detects the wireless data on the one or more channels; and
an analyzer in communication with the probe, the analyzer configured to receive the data from the probe and analyze the data, wherein the analyzer can receive the data by physical transmission or wireless transmission.
