<ul>
	<li>Ethernet comes with free isolation</li>
	<li>No drivers required to get Ethernet working</li>
	<li>USB is faster to get working depending on your network hacking skills</li>
	<li>USB software stacks in test equipment are kinda hit or miss</li>
</ul>
How to make hardware work with Ethernet?
<ul>
	<li>Still learning about this</li>
	<li>Trying out Arduino -> Ethernet shields that use the Wiznet W5100</li>
	<li>Managed to get a demo working with SCPI and the shield</li>

	<li>Spring loaded leaf springs in a connector that slides onto the side of a PCB</li>
	<li>Looks like a great alternative to normal tag connect</li>
</ul>
Bias test connector - OTC (one time connect)
<ul>
	<li>PEM smtsss-4mm-6et solderable spring standoffs</li>
	<li>Use in conjunction with through hole pogo pins</li>
	<li>Just add holes and target points on main pcb and plug the connector in for access to the nets</li>
