Uwe (and everyone else): Analog Devices is in process of launching the "ADALM1000", (M1k) a small USB based instrument that implements a dual function generator / Measurement channel over the next month or so.
http://www.analog.com/en/evaluation/eval-adalm1000/eb.html http://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/m1k It is going to be released as part of ADI's education/university program, which provides engineering students and professors with analog design kit that will enhance engineering students' educational experience by allowing them to experiment quickly and easily with advanced technologies and build and test real-world, functional analog design circuits anytime and anywhere. This "hands- on learning" design approach gives students and professors the freedom and creativity to expand the scope of course materials and explore real-time design scenarios right in the classroom. http://www.analog.com/university Right now, we have our own software stack, but would be interested in understanding how to work with you and the other sigrok developers, as I think we have mutual goals. (open source from hardware to firmware to GUI), end users learning more things about analog. Although it's not described as such, the M1k is a dual channel source measure Unit (SMU), that does have some AC capabilities, so it really doesn't fit into the existing devices that are supported in sigrok now. Sourcing an arbitrary voltage|current on a pin, while measuring the resulting synchronized/actual voltage/current is sort of a weird combination of function generator/scope on a single pin. We do have our own open source software, a library - libsmu, and own gui - pixelpulse2. https://github.com/signalspec/pixelpulse2 https://github.com/signalspec/libsmu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rBX0yXIXY8 (gui in action). As soon as a few more units get off the manufacturing line, I can send some over to anyone interested -- Any thoughts on how to add a SMU (in a generic sense, and the M1k specifically) to sigrok?
