If you talk about the added fields in QtPyVCP tool table, they add
themselve to the standard ones so just an update.
If you mean setting up a QtPyVCP control panel like Probe Basic, and if you
ask me, that may reveal being a very well invested time!

The additionnal fields are user configurable so all may not be lost...

Sorry, may be too new to this or just not getting your use case, but I
don't understand why properly measured/probed tools end with excalibured
taps 🤔

Now I'm lost 😅 Isn't the probe already a record in the tool table.

An open hardware tool presetter project is definitely missing...


Thanks for alerting me to the new tool table, Jérémie, I appreciate it.

Not wanting to hijack this thread further, please join the QtPyVCP channel
to further discuss your need/project. @TurBoss there will surely answer all
your questions about its proposed tool table.


Take care and stay well.

So do you man 🙏
