MHS-5200A Serial Protocol Reverse Engineered

May I suggest sticking some sort of license on that document, at least on the translation and protocol documentation part? Perhaps CC-BY-SA or something like it.

Very nice to see such nice work coming out of a community, in view of the vendor's underwhelming support.
przemek:
Initially I thought the translation will be useful to the manufacturer,  but I pinged them by email and they didn't reply. I then essentially rewrote the thing, so I feel I am entitled to controlling the copyright, and of course I prefer a collaborative license like CC. Will do, although I will have to put this project off for a while now.

By the way, it's written in LyX/LaTeX, and the source is on Github, so you're welcome to clone it and push patches. It uses quite a bit of optional packages/style files, easy to pick up from error messages if you start creating PDFs.

By the way, I want a FOSS/Linux program to drive MHS5200. I considered writing a Python/Qt app, but it occurred to me that maybe it could be interfaced to sigrok: it already supports Hantek and Siglent generators. Thoughts?

Alas, sigrok does not support signal generators as an instrument class yet. Those listed on the hardware support page are marked red (planned). You're welcome to take it on.

And you're right, a UI for these just screams Python/Qt.

Big kudos for this! This manual looks better than the original, even!
