1. An electronics tool comprising:
a waveform interface integral to the electronics tool and comprising a waveform pin configured to make electrical contact with a system external to the electronics tool, the waveform interface being configured to measure a frequency and a duty cycle of a pulse width modulated electrical signal on the waveform pin;
an analog circuit interface integral to the electronics tool and comprising an analog pin configured to make electrical contact with a system external to the electronics tool, the analog circuit interface being configured to provide an adjustable analog output at the analog pin, receive an analog input at the analog pin, and measure a magnitude of a voltage at the analog pin; and
a digital circuit interface integral to the electronics tool and comprising a mechanical switch and a digital pin, the digital pin being configured to make electrical contact with a system external to the electronics tool, and the digital circuit interface being configured to provide a digital output at the digital pin based at least in part on a position of the mechanical switch and receive a digital input at the digital pin.
