Mike, thanks for the idea! A pointer to the existing presentation video would be great. Maybe Gregg can edit that together with animation, or demo footage from our lab to show the corresponding hardware setup...just brainstorming...Gregg is likely to have ideas of his own.
This is in addition to the one you mentioned earlier about storage plug-ins.[1] That's a huge exciting new feature, so it might be another fruitful topic for a "how-to." Gregg and I will have to scope out how many videos there will be time for this summer and which ones match his skills best. It's starting to look like we have some good suggestions to pursue, which is very encouraging. We're ahead of where we were last year at this time, and that's a good thing.
