Hi Dave-

The data probe class is ucar.unidata.idv.control.ProbeControl
and the probe point itself is the probe member which is
a ucar.visad.display.PointProbe.  As the probe is moved,
the ProbeControl listens for property change events on
the probe and calls updatePosition which does the appropriate 
sampling to update the readout table.

You could either create a subclass of ProbeControl or mimic
the functionality in another class.
