yeh well, the DTMF A B C and D should be in order too, but they aren't on
this one.
The up and down arrows should be reversed too...but don't forget, it's
chinese and they sometimes see things a bit differently then we do hi hi.
Speaking of testing, I know I asked you this before, but I don't recall your
answer.
What are you using to obtain results that you can read with a screen reader?
One of our local guys uses the signal hound gear, that is, the signal
generator and the spectrum analyzer...both of which are USB breakout boxes.
They use software for realtime viewing of the tests and so on...and I
suspect the software, due to it's highly graphical nature, wouldn't be very
accessible, but I'd like to try it.
It would be nice if some info could be gained with a screen reader...or at
least, the info saved and retrieved in an accessible format.
These signal hound boxes easily interface with a laptop, netbook, IPad or
tablit and are in the range of accuracy of the 60 thousand dollar Spectrum
analyzers and signal generator units...and far smaller too.
They run about 600 bucks for the signal gen, and about 900 for the spectrum
analyzer.
