Abstract: A measuring device (1) for detecting signals, particularly signals in an ignition system of an internal combustion engine, has a signal line (2); and a measuring electrode (3) connected to the signal line (2) for coupling a signal to be detected into the signal line (2), wherein the measuring electrode has a flexible tip (4) , wherein the tip (4) includes tubular segments (4?); wherein one end of a segment (4?) is pivotably inserted into another end of another segment (4?); and wherein the tip (4) including the tubular segments (4?) is lockable into position in a bent state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device (1) for detecting signals, particularly signals in an ignition system of an internal combustion engine, with a signal line (2) and a measuring electrode (3) connected to the signal line (2) for coupling a signal to be detected into the signal line (2). In order to simplify the detection of signals in inaccessible areas, the measuring device (1) has a flexible tip (4).
