Indeed that's the plan. When the new libsigrok pipeline architecture materializes, PV won't care as much about whether the data is from a scope or logic analyzer. Until that happens, I'm considering adding a mechanism that allows analog channels to be used as decoder inputs via some simple filtering. Need to finish the architecture/GUI rework I've started first, though. > The first step would be adding more capture limit types to pulseview. > They exist in the library and are supported by sigrok-cli, but > there's no way to use them in pulseview. What do you mean by capture limit types exactly? For me, the difference between "streamed data" and "framed data" is simply the way it's displayed (plus some GUI elements to allow manipulation of this display). > Not clear this is needed, but the "Frames" option would probably add > a lot of useful code.

If you do what you're good at and if I do what I'm good at then we all win in the end.
