Some work has been performed to offer black~box---or functional testing---of these instruments instead of
static analysis~\cite{Bishop:2010:ONT:1886301.1886325}.

Most modern instruments now use highly integrated electronics coupled to micro-controllers, which read and filter the measurements,
and interface to an LCD readout.
