As a BS10 owner, I'd like to warn potential buyers of several aspects regarding Bitscope products. 1. BS10 (and probably BS05, although their specs page isn't clear enough) has a whopping 12 kb of sample memory. This is a very small amount, and when you try to zoom in your waveform, you can't really obtain a lot of details about your waveform. 12 kb would have been understandable for Gs/s oscilloscope, but for putting samples at 20 Ms/s you could probably find a bigger chip, especially in 2016. 2. The software provided with Bitscopes has great potential, but is buggy and the bugs don't get fixed. I tried to contact their support several times about some of most annoying bugs (like waveform disappears when zooming, floating point exceptions, subsampling mode unavailable) and either got a very generic and unhelpful response or no response at all. I was also unable to use continous mode. 3. This point is just a rant, but IMO using a serial connection over USB is ok for hobby projects — not for data acquisition devices. So for people who already have Bitscopes sigrok support could be great news, but if you plan to buy one, please consider the aforementioned issues. 2016-10-04 14:31 GMT+03:00 Valerio Messina <[email protected]>: >>----Messaggio originale---- >>Da: "Uwe Hermann" <[email protected]> >>Data: 01/10/2016 12.10 >> >>We would like to see it supported, sure, but I'm not aware of anyone >>working on the BS05P right now. >> >>The BS10 is indeed on our "long overdue" TODO list (we have hardware to >>test on already), so that's certainly going to happen.
