Thanks!

(my first association for "instrumenting" is to provide a bunch of kindergarten kids with vuvuzelas... ;)

    My first reference to "instrumenting" was when "they" hooked the bus/tag cables of a 3490 to a hidden port on a 390-class engine on a lab box and captured the psw on the fly, filled up a tape REAL FAST too.

    I had heard "instrumentation" as a word before (in the sense of adding measuring points/code to a program), but being a non-native speaker, I'd expect the corresponding verb being more something like "instrumentate" :-)
      English - The Perl of natural languages ... ;-)
