Aside from boardviews and schematics, another very useful collection of information to have for board diagnostics are the diode/volt/resistance type values of the various networks on the board.

Tonight I put the newer alpha development of FlexBV through its paces combined with the multimeter data and a 3-pedal USB footswitch to create a combination that'll let me quickly acquire the data with less mistakes ( one hopes! ).

FlexBV, if you're a professional repairer, you want this - https://pldaniels.com/flexbv

Foot pedal switch is at - https://www.google.com/search?q=3+pedal+footswitch+USB ( I'm using the cheap $59 eBay ones )

If you're in linux, you can reprogram them using the footswitch software - https://github.com/rgerganov/footswitch
