The Future Direction of Electronic Test

Military electronic test trends include the use of synthetic instruments and in-circuit emulators. Synthetic (modular) instruments can be software-configured for multiple functions (spectrum analyzers, power meters, or oscilloscopes). Other tools support testing for a range of microprocessors. Will those types of tools be needed by the rest of industry -- and is this the best direction to follow?

I guess I'm just more comfortable with using a real scope, meter, etc than believing what a virtual instrument tells me. When I start seeing weird data I begin to wonder If the problem is with the computer code , processing speed etc... and or the operating system ) aka Windows. Who here hasn't had a strange computer related problem ?

Not sold on virtual instruments yet.
