The  test  pads  highlighted  in  Figure  8  allow  various  types  of  pin  headers  and  solderable 
posts  to  be  soldered  on  all  the  major  nodes  so  oscilloscope  probes  can  be  attached.  
Figure  9  shows  a  pair  of  pin  headers  soldered  onto  test  points  6&7  allowing  an 
oscilloscope probe to monitor V
