What test kit , not cuttently available for any love or money , would people here like to be developed or invented?



Well the filthy local (central southern England) weather has stymied 2 outdoor things I was going to do today.

DMM (V, I, R, C, Hz) with ESR measure capability.

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.
