Where in forum is enhancement suggestion list being kept ?
I would like to add following to it -
Not sure if someone has already covered this but I would like
added into firmware -
...
2) Chart recorder function coupled with PC API. There are times
I need to look at very slow rate events, circuits, that want strip
chart like functionality.
Item 2 another user has suggested to me to use the programming manual
and write code to do this.
Regards, Dana.
I bet such a request will never be added into firmware, but until then you can use this script to log the data:
https://github.com/RoGeorge/DS1054Z_data_logger'DS1054Z_logger.py' is a Python script that adds Vavg measurement for all the 4 channels of a Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope, then periodically log the Vavg values in a PC file using a LAN connexion between computer and oscilloscope. No drivers are required to be installed on the PC.
To run the data logger, you must have Python 2.7 installed on your PC. Linux usually have it installed by default. For Windows, download and install Python 2.7 from Internet (
https://www.python.org/downloads/). After you have Python 2.7, download and unzip the
https://github.com/RoGeorge/DS1054Z_data_logger/archive/master.zip . Go to the place where you unzipped it. Connect your PC and your oscilloscope to the LAN.
Assuming your oscilloscope have the IP address "192.168.1.7", type in the command line:
python DS1054Z_logger.py 3600 192.168.1.7
This will measure the Vavg voltage once per hour (3600 seconds), display the data and log it into a CSV file. To end the logging, press 'ESC'. If you want to make a chart, open the CSV data with any spreadsheet program, like Open Office Calc (recommended because it is free) or Microsoft Office Excel.
