The Open Instrumentation Project announces release V1.7 of software for the Syscomp DSO-101 oscilloscope hardware.
The Open Instrumentation Project (OIP) has been formed to support open-source software and low cost hardware for electronic instrumentation. Currently available instruments include an oscilloscope, waveform generator and network analyser. Source code is available at
Information on the hardware is available at
In addition to bug fixes, software version 1.7 supports these new features:
- XY Plot, useful for Lissajous figures or general purpose plotting (X-T waveforms can appear on the same display)
- Spectrum analysis using DFT. (X-T waveforms can appear simultaneously on a separate display)
- High-resolution mode, capturing a full 32k samples on both waveforms, supporting variable digital zoom and scrolling.
- User adjustable vertical calibration for every gain setting.
- Save data to .csv (spreadsheet) format
- Screen capture, postscript and .jpg format
- Save/Restore scope configuration
The software is written entirely in the Tcl/Tk language and runs under Linux, Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
An extensive user manual is part of the code package.
