    I wonder if
it would be possible (and practical) to use a
microcontroller, perhaps a PIC, to act as a core controller.  Use the
A/D and D/A hardware to handle the drive and sense stuff, and do all
the timing in firmware...making it easily tweakable.  
 Not likely as the sense voltages are quite small and the slice time
 has to just right. 
  Well I wouldn't expect to connect it *directly* to the PIC...some
analog jellybeans would seem appropriate.
