-```AnalyzerSettingsInterface``` types should be declared as pointers.  We’re using the ```std::auto_ptr``` type, which largely acts like a standard (raw) pointer. It’s a simple form of what’s called a “smart pointer” and it automatically calls ```delete``` on its contents when it goes out of scope.

 ### Setting up each AnalyzerSettingInterface object
 
-First, we create the object (call new) and assign the value to the interface’s pointer. Note that we’re using ```std::auto_ptr```, so this means calling the member function ```reset()```. For standard (raw pointers), you would do something like:
-```c++    
-mInputChannelInterface = new AnalyzerSettingInterfaceChannel();
-```

+Ee call the member function ```SetTitleAndTooltip()```. The title will appear to the left of the input element. Note that often times you won’t need a title, but you should use one for ```Channels```. The tooltip shows up when hovering over the input element.

 ```
 Finally, We’ll want to set the value. The interface object is, well, an interface to our settings variables. When setting up the interface, we copy the value from our settings variable to the interface. When the user makes a change, we copy the value in the interface to our settings variable. The function names for this differ depending on the type of interface.

+Ok, now that everything else is taken care of, let’s look at the most important part of the analyzer in detail.  First, we’ll reset our ```AnalyzerResults``` derived object. This is because your analyzer class instance may be re-used for multiple runs, so at the beginning of each run, the generated results must be reset.
 ```c++
-mResults.reset( new {YourName}AnalyzerResults( this, mSettings.get() ) );
+mResults = {YourName}AnalyzerResults( this, &mSettings );
 ```
 Well provide a pointer to our results to the base class:
 ```c++
-SetAnalyzerResults( mResults.get() );
+SetAnalyzerResults( &mResults );
 ```
 Let’s indicate which channels we’ll be displaying results on (in the form of bubbles). Usually this will only be one channel. (Except in the case of SPI, where we’ll want to put bubbles on both the MISO and MISO lines.) Only indicate where we will display bubbles – other markup, like tick marks, arrows, etc, are not bubbles, and should not be reported here.
 ```c++
-mResults->AddChannelBubblesWillAppearOn( mSettings->mInputChannel );
+mResults.AddChannelBubblesWillAppearOn( mSettings.mInputChannel );
 ```
 We’ll probably want to know (and save in a member variable) the sample rate.
 ```c++
 mSampleRateHz = GetSampleRate();
 ```
 Now we need to get access to the data itself. We’ll need to get pointers to ```AnalyzerChannelData``` objects for each channel we’ll need data from. For Serial, we’ll just need one. For SPI, we might need 4. Etc.
 ```c++
-mSerial = GetAnalyzerChannelData( mSettings->mInputChannel );
+mSerial = GetAnalyzerChannelData( mSettings.mInputChannel );
 ```
