Abstract

Systems and methods are described for performing diagnostic procedures, such as vibrometric diagnostic procedures. An example system includes a handheld vibrometric device, a handheld controller, and a control and processing console. The handheld controller includes an input receiving mechanism for controlling the handheld vibrometric device and/or controlling a user interface generated by the console. The handheld controller is configured such that when the handheld vibrometric diagnostic device is supported by a first hand of an operator and the handheld controller is supported by a second hand of the operator, the input receiving mechanism is capable of being actuated by a digit of the second hand while maintaining support of the handheld controller by the second hand, in the absence of contact with the control and processing console and the handheld vibrometric diagnostic device, thereby facilitating control of the handheld vibrometric diagnostic device without mechanically perturbing the handheld vibrometric diagnostic device.
