Abstract

Apparatus and methods for performing downhole testing. Example apparatus include a downhole tool string for conveying within a wellbore, the downhole tool string comprising an anchor device, a testing device, and a linear or rotary actuator. The anchor device maintains a portion of the downhole tool string in a predetermined position within the wellbore. The testing device is operable to receive a downhole sample from or test a subterranean formation surrounding the wellbore. The linear actuator is connected between the anchor device and testing device, and moves the testing device relative to the anchor device.
