“Josh is an influential leader in Seattle's design community. I had the pleasure to work with Josh for over two years. Always impressed with his perspective on product design and his ability to create long-term partnerships that are meaningful and personal. Not to mention, he puts on a legendary annual Halloween party for his employees and Seattle's design community. Josh has built a culture of inclusivity and collaboration that transcends Tactile.

An apparatus, system, and method are described for providing an intuitive user interface on a test and measurement instrument. The test and measurement instrument can include container logic, which provides a work mode in which interactions with objects within a container on a display are allowed, and a move mode in which interactions with the objects within the container on the display are temporarily prevented. When in the move mode, the container logic can detect a dragging gesture associated with the container. In response to the dragging gesture, a preview container arrangement is provided overlaying the container arrangement. The container logic can detect a dropping indication, thereby causing the arrangement to snap to the preview container arrangement. Various other user interface controls are provided while in the move mode. In multi-user environments, customized container arrangements may be saved and then later recalled. Containers may be moved among multiple different displays.
