AN: Open Instrumentation Project: Release 1.7

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
* sourceforge . net /projects/oip
licensed under the GPLv2.

Information on the hardware is available at w w w .syscompdesign . com .

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.
