Interpolating Scanner FracRak Layout - 1st Pass

[Jim Johnson]

Well... the five horizontal Fracrak spaces are not the same as five
vertical MOTM spaces - 1.5" per space vs. 1.75". But the layout should
easily translate. I think horizontal sliders would work OK; but it would be
a little harder to visualize waveshapes.
