With some decent code, this could measure capacitance
(uF range, not pFs), true esr, resistance, millivolts,
possibly a useful range of inductances. It could find
shorted pcb traces and maybe plot diode curves.

The dac is optional, and the adc might be inside the uP.

This is a stage 0 brainstorm. Of course you can find
objections, but I'd prefer improvements.

Hi John,
Consider some co-existing values: 1 to 50us measurement
intervals, 5 to 500uF capacitors, 5 to 100nH series and
probe inductances, and 5 milliohms esr. Tell us about
proposed current-switching speeds, diff amp bandwidth,
sampling rates and resolution. Run some numbers for us.
