What you need
NextProbe runs on an ordinary bench computer with the meter you already own. Here is what each part of the setup needs.
| Computer | Windows 10 or 11, or macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon or Intel. A window at least 960 pixels wide; 1280 or more is better, so the board and the step sit side by side. |
| Account | A free NextProbe account. The free plan covers board profiles, the viewer, typed readings and three guided sessions a month. Plans are on nextprobe.ai/pricing. |
| Board files | Your own boardview and, ideally, the schematic PDF. NextProbe never supplies them, and the files never leave your computer. |
| A meter | Any multimeter works: you type what it shows. A supported meter on USB streams its readings and captures by itself (Supported hardware). |
| Optional | A bench power supply on USB (the Korad KA3005P family), a foot pedal that sends a key press, a microphone for voice commands, a USB microscope or webcam for board photos. |
