Claim 5:
6. 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;
a microcontroller circuit interface integral to the electronics tool and comprising communication pins configured to make electrical contact with a system external to the electronics tool, the microcontroller circuit interface being configured to communicate with an external processor of the system external to the electronics tool that is in electrical contact with the communication pins; and
a display interface integral to the electronics tool,
wherein the microcontroller circuit interface is further configured to receive a transmitted value from the external processor and communicate the transmitted value to the display interface, and
wherein the display interface is further configured to display the transmitted value.
