A text user interface (TUI) for Rigol DS1054Z

[amosborne]

Picture and GIF attached below.

This kind of project has been done a million times, but I've never found the kind of flat user interface that I like. I took it as an opportunity to make a retro-style TUI that lives entirely inside the terminal.

The killer feature is when you capture and save the oscilloscope's display, an image of the TUI is also saved. Never forget your obscure scope settings again!

The software package is installed via pip (Python). A simple command line tool and a compact Python interface library are also included.

Not yet published-- more to come.

I guess GIFs don't play on the forum... you can see it in action on the README (work-in-progress): https://github.com/amosborne/rigol-ds1000z/tree/tui

Nice work. Also never knew you could have mouse interaction on a TUI

I see the python control library extremely useful for test setups, thank you.
