High-end is costly. If we're talking about several Gs/second it's definitely not something that can be made just like that. If we look at something like Agilent/Keysight — these are big and expensive tools. This means it's unusual to see a driver for such device in sigrok. However, many high-end devices can export data to various formats and sigrok can load the data. I think for sigrok it would make sense first to support fx2-based analyzers on all major platforms at maximum performance; for me it's been on and off for years — sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Lack of aforementioned memory compression is also noticeable. So if you're ready to invest time or resources in sigrok, these are the areas that could be improved. 26.01.2018, 11:49, "Chris Obbard" <ch...@64studio.com>: >>> So this goes onto my next question, who's interested in designing an >>> open-source logic-analyser with good chassis, cables etc for Sigrok? >> >> Wouldn't it be better to invest more time in support for existing >> logic analyzers?
