Yes, the simplest design that does the job is the best. Unfortunately, the issue with building hardware for physics experiments is that there is never a clear-cut and exact specification for what's needed for a number of reasons: - it wouldn't be research if we understood everything

Sébastien, Understood. But, that's quite a vague answer. We don't want to throw away performance/flexibility unnecessarily. So, the questions are: how much do we need to simplify the SAWG to make it okay to debug and maintain at the 1GSPS data rate? and, what's the way of doing that, which
