controlling from far away is not an issue. The problem is that integration with other pieces of software and automation of tasks is not possible. For example I might want to send ten different test signals at a 2.5 second interval. Can't do this with Gui. |

I see a lot of people on this forum asking for stuff they want - but I see very very few people actually putting work into and posting software. |
