Additionally, we want to have some set of tests and diagnostics, to make sure we have not introduced unwanted behavior. 

To this end I will create some test models and DTT templates, where a series of measurements can be run, like

• OLTF/delay measurement of a single all-digital loop within one model
• OLTF/delay measurements of a few all-digital loops split across two models, using IPC communcation, RFM, dolphin
• Hook up DAC -> resistor/amplifier/??? -> ADC, to check things like DAC output, ADC noise levels, IOP delays.

I'll run these test before touching anything, and make sure I understand all of the results, so that an apples-to-apples comparison can be made after the upgrade is complete.
