I would have thought that existed.

Mine would be more exotic, some sort of conflation of infra-red, Xray camera
and pd monitor system that could capture images of properly functioning
equipment.
Different colours for the ac & dc currents in traces and different colours
for the ac & dc voltages at nodes for some standard input etc.
Then some "blink comparator" software that would immediately zero in on a
likely problem area for the same piece of equipment , after you've taken an
image capture. With an option to operate continuously and store any images
when substantial changes occur , for those intermittant faults.
