Roadtesters need a variety of test equipment to do the product testing. From the list below, what equipment would you like to have on your bench but do not presently have?
Very exciting reading the arduino engineering kit roadtest, thanks element14 comunity. Should be very nice to roadtest the "arduino engineering kit rev2".
I picked "other" because I'd like to suggest some software licence roadtest. What about a Matlab Simscape electrical roadtest? A personal licence should be a very good incentive to complete a roadtest.
I lack a reliable bench power supply. I currently use a 12V switching PS with some buck/boost modules to generate some standard voltages. At some point maybe I will invest in a bench PB with a collection of nice banna clip connection cables to make my life easier.
I voted for Pattern Generator because it would be nice to have a "protocol aware" unit for testing hardware interfaces. On reflection, it seems like it might be something that I could do as project .
A VNA or Spectrum Analyzer would also be good to have. I'd probably use the Spectrum Analyzer more. I have a pretty basic 100MHz oscilloscope which is great for most things, but it would be great to get a higher frequency mixed-signal oscilloscope with multifunction capability that would replace many of the listed instruments.

I'll buy you the octopus arms if you can find it on Newark? What's the SKU number?
I picked "other" because on this list I need more that one. I am new to this and don't have any tools right now but a cheap $5 soldering iron, some solder(60/40), snips, automatic wire strippers and that…
