- New Layout idea
- To be created/pasted, basic idea is to change listing of individual tools (Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer, etc) to Analog Inputs, Analog Outputs, Digital, etc. Can see merit of listing individual tools though for the purpose of buyers who only know how to look for certain key words.
