Problem Statement
One instrument for each applicationMultimeter for DC, Oscilloscope for AC
Risk of damage during probingProbe and view / adjust instrument at the same time
Time wastingPin counting, adjust instrument for each pin
Difficult to clip onto small ICse.g.: TQFPs, with some pins inaccessible (e.g. BGA)
But with current test instruments :

Current test instruments DO NOT give any other
information on the status of a test point.
With FirmFlex, it is possible to simultaneously :
Measure the voltage accurately
Acquire the waveform
Measure the strength of the node

SignalTrack
Allows the user to send a programmable signal into
a circuit (CH1) and measure a response at various
points (CH2) with both waveforms synchronised.
