It looks really neat and well organized.

It looks really neat and well organized. It is an in-house tool that is used in our so-called VML-flow (Versatile Markup Language), so it is not out in the open yet. The same model file is used internally in many ways - but exposing it to the public is something we have not tried before, and having this view is so much nicer that the usual datasheet, I find... And thanks for the kind words - I passed them on to the author. BR Steen > -- > Florian

It looks really neat and well organized. Florian, It is an in-house tool. The input data is in a proprietary XML-like format. We're pleased that you like it, we do too. We are also pleased that being a Microchip entity, we can actually make this kind of information public. I'll pass your praise on. ---Lars -- Lars Povlsen, Microchip
