 **IOscopy** is a front-end application built on top of IPython. The combination of Python, IPython and oscopy back-end make IOscopy a powerful tool for data viewing and post-processing.
 Support for simple arithmetic operations as complex functions like FFT is included.
-File re-reading (updates) can be triggered by external applications like gEDA suite through D-Bus messaging system, and then IOscopy can call netlist generator and electrical simulator programs automatically.

 IOscopy uses oscopy as back-end to manage files, signals, plots.
-**Oscopy** is an back-end written in python designed to simplify the electrical design workflow. It allow to read, view and post-process signals with support for automatic dependency tracking.\\

 Oscopy can be easily extended to a multi-purpose viewer, as adding new data file formats and new types of plots is really easy.
 The mains features of IOscopy are:
-  * Post-processing: math expressions (through numpy ufuncs, numpy.fft)
+  * **Post-processing**: math expressions (arithmetic, trigonometric, boolean, fft)
-  * View, examine: multiple windows, cursors, zoom with mouse wheel, span
+  * **View**, examine: multiple windows, cursors, zoom with mouse wheel, span
-  * Data import: see below
+  * Data import: see [[features#Supported input formats|below]]
   * Data export: gnucap, pictures
-  * Dependency tracking during file updates
+  * **Dependency tracking** of Signals during input file updates
   * Scripting
+  * **Integration** with other tools: Run netlister and simulator from oscopy, run ioscopy from gEDA's gschem
   * D-Bus support: update recursively Signals by sending events from external program (e.g. gschem)
-  * Run netlister and simulator from oscopy
+  * [[features#Drag and drop|Drag and drop]] of signals between windows
-  * Integration with gschem
-  * Drag and drop support
