1. A method comprising:
enclosing in a housing a first printed circuit board comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is coupled to the processor;
providing a display, coupled to the processor and the housing, wherein the display is visible from an exterior side of the housing, wherein a shape of the housing comprises:
a back surface of the housing which during use, rests between a thumb and forefinger of a hand,
a probe tip comprising a relatively planar surface comprising sensor openings, wherein the relatively planar surface is angled at a nonzero angle relative to the back surface,
a top surface of the housing comprising the display, wherein the top surface is angled at a nonzero angle relative to the back surface, and
a tubular hand grip region, comprising the back surface, coupled between the top surface and the probe tip; and
forming a structure of the housing to retain the probe tip, wherein the probe tip is coupled to an exterior side of the enclosure.
