Or additional batteries.

Would be nice if it were all powered off the PC but not at the expense of higher noise. SJL had stated that the reason for using USB3 was for the higher currents but I thought they had a lot of margin. Maybe there is enough left to power 4 additional probes at 250mA.
SJL-Instruments:
We had a chat with Lasmux earlier today.
In the short-term, we settled on offering $300 off any GigaWave scope when purchasing one of Lasmux's probes. Lasmux would hand out a coupon code which can be applied at our checkout.
For any customer who buys a GigaWave, it's then a no-brainer to also buy a probe (effectively for free). Lasmux gets extra sales at no cost. From our end, we know we missed out on several customers due to the lack of probes, so we'd get an increase in sales as well.
Lasmux is working on listing a version of the probe with an SMA-SMA cable, so no adapters are required. Once that's up, both of us will advertise the deal on our websites.
This offer will apply retroactively (for those who already bought the probe).

It's possible to have a separate USB 3.0 breakout to supply power for up to 8 probes (60 mA @ 9V per probe, total 4.3 W).
We have a bit over 200 mA of extra margin on the scope, but exposing this would break compatibility with our existing units, so we'd prefer not to do this.
We didn't discuss this for our short-term plans. It could be a possibility in the medium-term, depending on the probe's power supply noise rejection. Lasmux knows much more about the details.

Note the number of steps required. You have to manually select a file name, manually reload them, then manually set the gain and offset. I like the idea of having a memory rather than a file and having the software automatically show the data, properly scaled like my other scopes. The less buttons I need to press and typing I need to do, the better. Something you may want to consider with future releases.

As promised, this feature has now been implemented. Should help speed up the process considerably in the future.
joeqsmith:
Very easy to use, works well. I was thinking I may want you to adjust the scale of the reference if the sampled channel is changed, or automatically delete the reference if I want to resample but after playing with it, I think this is better. It's simple enough to remove the old references.
Good job and big thanks!
