Claim 4:
5. An electronics tool comprising:
a waveform interface integral to the electronics tool and comprising a waveform pin configured to make electrical contact with a system external to the electronics tool, the waveform interface being configured to measure a frequency, an amplitude, and/or a duty cycle of an electrical signal on the waveform pin;
an analog circuit interface integral to the electronics tool and comprising an analog pin configured to make electrical contact with a system external to the electronics tool, the analog circuit interface being configured to provide an adjustable analog output at the analog pin, receive an analog input at the analog pin, and measure a magnitude of a voltage at the analog pin;
a digital circuit interface integral to the electronics tool and comprising a mechanical switch and a digital pin, the digital pin being configured to make electrical contact with a system external to the electronics tool, and the digital circuit interface being configured to provide a digital output at the digital pin based at least in part on a position of the mechanical switch and receive a digital input at the digital pin; and
a display interface integral to the electronics tool and configured to display an analog voltage value based on the magnitude of the voltage at the analog pin and display a visual indication of the digital pin being at a high voltage or a low voltage,
wherein the display interface comprises one or a plurality of mechanical buttons, and
wherein the display interface is configured to toggle between displaying a value associated with the analog input at the analog pin, the frequency or frequencies of the electrical signal on the waveform pin, the amplitudes of the electrical signal on the waveform pin, and/or the duty cycle of the electrical signal on the waveform pin in response to one or more presses of the mechanical button(s).
