Ben Ryves built his own version of the superprobe. having no need for some of the standard features he has modified the source for additional functionality. there is an excellent video of Ben demonstrating his superprobe after the break.

Very nice project, and a very nice explanation/demo! (Very horrible tablecloth, however.)
I gotta build me one of these…

This one test semiconductors. But what i miss is ers meter in both of them.
Thanks
