My point exactly. A better DSO, more suited to the task would be a better choice

Latest Binary for anyone interested: http://jmp.sh/v/NbdJxdvV1l35qIRE3DmP
Changes:
1. Importing & Exporting now functional (Reference channel now functional)
. Import saved .txt waveforms from original 6022BE software
. Export & Import to custom binary format
. Export to Bitmap & JPEG Images, visible or entire waveform, with render options to tweak + export preview
2. Hacked 10V/DIV option for 1X with Software Attenuation
3. Hacked AC Coupling (software filtering)
4. Various bug fixes and other minor changes
Interface Notes:
1. You can "drag" the waveform in view three different ways
1a. Click and drag the "Waveform Context" area above the waveform (fastest way to drag, very course)
2a. Click and drag the Waveform (slower, less course)
3a. Use Left and Right arrow keys (slowest, fine control)
Not working for me on Windows 8.1, I think it's connected to the scope but no waveform is being shown, not even a line. Maybe it's just something wrong with my setup, thanks anyway for all the hard work, looks great so far
Previous binary had the same problem, when the scope is connected I'm getting a green blinking light. The stock software works fine, and I tried the demo mode but I couldn't get any waveform to appear, same as before with no line on the screen...
Grid's there, everything else except the waveform. I wish I could be of more help, but I haven't done proper programming in years...
Thanks again for all this, it's going to be great to have alternative software

Thanks RichardK for your hard work.
I might have found the problem and a possible workaround (though I don't have a Windows 8 machine to test it on atm)... There is apparently an issue with the Windows AlphaBlend() function on 64bit machines, and I use the AlphaBlend function to set the waveform brightness, since the Hantek SDK provides no ability to set it in the draw wave function, the draw grid function provided by the SDK does have a brightness argument so I don't need to use AlphaBlend() there, so that might also explain why the grid draws but not waveforms.

zoomed waveform is no longer in scale with the grid
Quotezoomed waveform is no longer in scale with the grid
Would it be possible to have dôme sort of measurement like on the pico software? Or is it limited by the hardware?

I have never used picoscope before, so I'm not familiar with that type of measurement.
This software's looking really good, already feels much nicer than the stock software.
Is there a possibility of waveform averaging and intensity grading in the future? That would make this scope so, so much better.
Well, let's say that you want to zoom deeper into your signal (for us in mechanic it's usefull to analyse the spark in an ignition system) it lets you zoom and mesure a specific point (V or time) into that zoomed image. I'm not sure if that's made by zooming the grid at the same time than the waveform itself. Or maybe it's a math thing.... like maybe.. you zoom 10x, our cursor is on the 2.3V level on the unzoomed grid -> so 2.3V / 10x = 0.23V . something like that... I don't know how to explain this the proper way... so here's a screenshot of the pico "zoom" fonction.
in the small windows up this is the actual waveform I took from an ignition spark. the main window is the zoom part of it where I mesure one point of the wave.
Maybe after I have finished all the major work left to do on this, I'll try and whip up a "blown up" view dialog with a scaled grid.
