Hey everyone, 

PulseView is a fantastic tool. I prefer it over my $6000 mixed signal
oscilloscope when it comes to the logic analyzer. Kudos.

 

I had this idea, but frankly diving into the code looks overwhelming to me
and neither do I have the time to execute such a project. But maybe someone
finds it interesting:

 

So when I debug code on an embedded system, I routinely use the processor's
DAC to output a (constantly changing) variable. Often I hook up a multi-DAC
via I2C to then plot the variables on my scope. For example if I run a
filter in software, or a PID loop. So would it not be possible for an
embedded system (incl Arduino) to generate the datastream on USB that would
readily feed into PulseView ? No intermediate logic analyzer or scope.

Pulseview can already show four (?) analog waveforms, and digital values in
parallel. The protocol decoders also demonstrate that PulseView could
possibly display debug strings as well.

So rather than debugging with the good old serial terminal, I think it would
be cool to feed directly into PulseView. Much easier to read and one would
get timing info at the same time.

What do you think ?
