Some of this code has been around for quite awhile, but it's never been properly packaged and documented until now. The new spectrum- surveillance and phase-noise measurement utilities are VERY cool. Enjoy!

Interesting; looks very similar to the new Prologix board, which I support fully. Both use a FTDI virtual RS-232 port chip and Atmel controller, but the Prologix board has a lower chip count.

It will be good to have a few lower-cost options for USB-GPIB connectivity out there... the National Instruments adapters are still commanding silly prices.
