This is also something I can figure out without buying it. |

I think most engineers dislike USB scopes. It's synonymous with cheap low end stuff and there's a lot to be said about physical knobs. Accessibility, speed, familiarity, etc. (except for Tektronix and Pico scope) Also, market is already saturated from low end to high end. No matter what entry point you choose, competitor is well ahead of you. I have an Owon VDS1022i. That's the quality and price point you'll be competing against. I think of these as student devices, or some special use cases. It really doesn't belong to an engineer's desktop. |

And also API for getting the data in Python or some other programming language. The value of having a USB scope is ability to process the data. And on this front, almost no known vendors deliver a good experience, so you have a chance to take that niche, provided your price is not outrageous. Here you will be competing against National Instruments, so you may want to look at their offering. And if you can deliver similar stuff at 1/10 of the price, you are golden. And by good UI, I don't mean simulation of a scope front panel with knobs that are a pain to turn with a mouse, but a UI that is actually designed for a PC use. |
