With the jobs I've been doing lately that was just too slow, although
I've done this in the past. The one I've been on for the last couple of
weeks has had 16 logic analyser probes, two scope probes and a
frequency meter thrown at it at various times. I needed to be able to
see at a glance in writing what pins were hooked up. Other labels
have the alternate function names or internal definitions instead of the
basic I/O names. This is helpful on this board because it also has a
couple of Scenixes, and you can see the interconnections (h/w and
s/w-defined pin names) easily with paper labels
