We're quite happy with how it turned out, and grateful for your patience and constructive suggestions over the past month. :-+ Do you mind if we link to/embed your video on our website? Going forward, feel free to continue posting any suggestions or feedback here. (This of course includes any new viewers coming from the video.) Next software update is scheduled for this coming weekend. |

Its always such a treat to work with people like yourself who are interested in improving their products. --- Quote ---Do you mind if we link to/embed your video on our website? --- End quote --- Not at all. I also suggest you link it to your very first post in this thread to make is easier to find as the thread grows. |

They have released new software which includes an auto setup. It's a big improvement over what I showed during my review of the 6400. Some of it is still a bit crude. For example, they allow you yo change the color for the min/max but entering in (guessing a 32-bit) hex number. By a show of hands, how many of you have that memorized? Most software is going to present the user with a color wheel, with a simple point click. I would like to see a single button select for basic horizontal or vertical measurements with trending. Maybe more useful than a way to sweep faster. When vectors are disabled, what prevents you from calculating Tr? Don't you have all the data needed for this measurement? Version 2.5.10 (2024-02-23): - Automatic setup for vertical offset/scale and trigger level. - Color-grading for multivalued signals - Allow double-click when selecting device on startup - Always show reset button when vertical scale is "Custom" - Allow smaller vertical scales (1 mV/div) - Keep settings from last closed FFT window when opening new one - Include FFT configuration when saving settings - Bugfix: Dialog boxes briefly flash on startup |

This version includes a GUI color picker (among other features). Other features are currently going through QA. The v2.5.10 minor update was needed for another reviewer this weekend (in particular the color-grading feature). --- Quote from: joeqsmith on February 24, 2024, 05:32:05 pm ---I would like to see a single button select for basic horizontal or vertical measurements with trending. Maybe more useful than a way to sweep faster. --- End quote --- To clarify, do you mean a button which adds several basic measurements at once for a specified channel? By trending, do you mean min/max/avg measurements? --- Quote from: joeqsmith on February 24, 2024, 05:32:05 pm ---When vectors are disabled, what prevents you from calculating Tr? Don't you have all the data needed for this measurement? --- End quote --- Yes, but only if the signal is single-valued at each point in time. In an eye diagram with double-edging, for example, it's ambiguous which feature Tr should be calculated for. In the case where the signal is single-valued, the software would extract the average and then calculate Tr. This is equivalent to having vector trace mode on. For clarity, we chose to require vector mode to be enabled (as to not produce garbage with multivalued signals). *** For next update (~March 9), we'll see if it's possible to reliably detect when the signal is single-valued. Then all measurements would be available with vector mode disabled, but would give an error if they cannot be accurately calculated. |

Trends would be min,max, p-p, avg, std-dev... (histograms would also be nice) See attached for example. Adding basic measurements is a pain. Having the ability to save the settings has been very useful but not a work around. --- Quote from: SJL-Instruments on February 24, 2024, 05:48:21 pm --- --- Quote from: joeqsmith on February 24, 2024, 05:32:05 pm ---When vectors are disabled, what prevents you from calculating Tr?

I get what you are saying about avoid showing garbage but it seems odd that it can't make basic measurements in all modes. --- Quote from: SJL-Instruments on February 24, 2024, 05:48:21 pm ---For next update (~March 9), we'll see if it's possible to reliably detect when the signal is single-valued.
