 ## Extending PICA: Adding a New Module
+## 🛠️ Extending PICA: Adding a New Module
 
 The modular architecture makes it straightforward to add support for new instruments or measurement types. Here is a simplified example of the required structure.
 
 #### 1. Create a Backend Class
+1.  **Create a Backend Class:** Encapsulate all direct instrument communication (`PyVISA` commands) in a dedicated class.
+2.  **Create a Frontend GUI:** Build a `Tkinter` GUI to gather user parameters and display live data. This GUI will instantiate and control the backend.
+3.  **Integrate with the Launcher:** Add a button and the script path to `PICA_v6.py` to make your new module accessible from the main dashboard.
 
 The backend class handles all direct communication with the instrument.
