	Want to be able to replicate the functions of an oscilliscope, multimeter and logic probe. So we need many inputs. But they can be of different quality. Perhaps 1 input that can handle very high bandwidth input with good precision, 2 more that can handle speeds into the MHz with moderate precision and many more (13?) that will only handle upto 1MHz with low precision.

			== Electronics ==

			=== Programmable High Power Output ===
			This is the heart of electronics control. Efficiently converts voltage levels and produces outputs.

			This needs to act in many roles:
			* Welding driver
			* Bench Supply
			* Induction Motor Driver

			So it will have at least 3 outputs, probably 5 and probably some specialization to each. The design also needs to be parametric. Some users may be limited to 15A@110V, which will make welding basically impossible. But higher V/A should be possible.

			=== Measurement ===

Perhaps 1 input that can handle very high bandwidth input with good precision, 2 more that can handle speeds into the MHz with moderate precision and many more (13?) that will only handle upto 1MHz with low precision.
