Hi

The last days I worked a lot with the A100 and tried also to customize 
some modules. From this background and from the lot of new ideas of the 
discussions here in the last week, I'd like to suggest two technical things:

1.) If possible, please always provide two parallel sockets for each 
output. I never have enough multiples. And very often I only want to 
split a connection or simply have a measuring point for a voltmeter or 
oscilloscope.

2.) the connection traces for sockets on the pcb most times are routed 
that way, that any kind of additional normalling ist not possible (or at 
least requires breaking up the lines, and rewiring them). Until now most 
connections come from the electronics, go to the normalled switch 
contact of the socket and are wired through to the in/output contact of 
the socket.
It would be much better for any customizing if the connection to the 
electronics are connected only to the in/output contact and the 
normalled swicth contact would be free for additions.


thanks

Florian

Florian,

for all new modules the pcb layout of the sockets has been changed in that
way that only the "active" pin is wired and the "switching" pin is free or
even connected to a solder pin for free wiring (e.g. A-138c).
