Help with new ni.com application

Few observations and feedback:

--> On page#2 (Sensors and Signals): If I select 'Temperature' signal, there I don't have an option to select both RTD & Thermocouple sensors.

--> Similarly for 'Accelerometer' signal, I should be able to select various combinations.

--> After reaching to the last page (#3), if I go back to page#2, then I can't select Software, until I go to some of the signal page and select either 'Cancel' or 'Save'.

Just noticed this link and filled out the survey.

In addition to what others have said, digital sigals could use some work:

Quadrature Encoders and PWM are specific use-cases for a Hardware-Timed digital signal, no?  Counters are one means to interact with hardware-timed digital signals (including quadrature encoders or PWM input/generation).  Having 5 separate categories made me confused which one I should be picking for a given application.

Yes, we were aware that all of these are HW-Timed digital functions when we pulled the categories together. However, the guidance from both sales and marketing was to have these called out separately, because even though these are different types of HW timed operations, PWM, Quadrature encoders, etc are specific measurement types in the digital world that customers come looking for. This is consistent with how we organize the advisors as well.

We appreciate the feedback however, but this was done deliberately based on historical requests and internal feedback. We will be watching for signs that this might need to change based on customer feedback in the future.

Thanks for chiming in on this!
