Systems and methods for testing and/or operating remote devices are disclosed. The embodiments provide cost-effective, convenient, and flexible means for the sensing and/or probing of remote devices. Signals generated by remote devices may be received, analyzed, logged, and displayed, i.e., enhancements to the functionalities of an oscilloscope are achieved. Signals to remote devices may be provided, i.e. enhancements to the functionalities of a wave generator, logic analyzers, bus analyzers, and the like are achieved. More particularly, enhancements to the operability, capabilities, and functionality of such previously available testing equipment, are provided, via the operation of a remote, portable, and lightweight test bed. The test bed may be operated and controlled remotely via a user-computing device. The test bed senses, probes, and/or controls a remote device and test data is generated and/or acquired. The test data is provided to the user-computing device for analysis, visualization, and test report generation.
