  • Patent number: 10302677
    Abstract: Multiple pin probes and methods for controlling such multiple pin probes to support parallel measurements are disclosed. The method may include: establishing electrical contact between a multiple pin probe and a subject of measurement; selecting two pins out of a plurality of pins included in the multiple pin probe as current-carrying pins; selecting more than two additional pins out of the plurality of pins included in the multiple pin probe as voltage-metering pins; injecting a current through the current-carrying pins; simultaneously measuring voltage signals through the voltage-metering pins; calculating a simulated voltage distribution curve at least partially based on the voltage signals simultaneously measured through the voltage-metering pins; and determining one or more processor monitor parameters of the subject of measurement at least partially based on the simulated voltage distribution curve.
