Rigol DS1000z series on Sigrok

[mauroh]

Does anyone already tried to add the MSO/DS1000z series on Sigrok?

I have a DS1104z and I would like to try to implement int but don't know where to start.
If someone is already trying we can work together.

I have looked at the same thing.
I found this entry: https://www.mail-archive.com/sigrok-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00727.html which would suggest there is some support for DS1000Z that is merged to master, so it should be in nightlies, no?

The current Rigol driver in sigrok supports the VS5000, DS1000, DS2000 and (Agilent-branded) DSO1000 series. It has various workarounds for quirks in some models and early firmware versions, but in general the later models seem to be more straightforward to support. Have a look at the code:

http://sigrok.org/gitweb/?p=libsigrok.git;a=tree;f=src/hardware/rigol-ds;hb=HEAD

With a little bit of luck, adding the models in the DS1000Z series to the list with similar options to the DS2000 series should get most of it working. I expect thorough testing of all the options to be the biggest part of the job.

Can one of you guys create a page on the wiki about the series, preferrably with some pictures? Something like this:

http://sigrok.org/wiki/Rigol_DS2000_series

PM me here for a wiki account, or join us on IRC at freenode #sigrok and ask there.

I am willing to help get the DS1000z series working in Sigrok. Please let me know how I can help.

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all the geniuses on this forum. Finally got the resolution hack to working on my E4 2.3.  Now who's got info on the menu.

There have been some developments in the past few weeks. There's a guy on the sigork mailing list creating a driver for it. I suggest you join the IRC chat. Download Hexchat or other IRC chat clients, conenct to the freenode server and join the #sigork channel 
The leader of the project is Uwe Hermann.

Thanks, Biot!
With your help, I have a sigrok wiki account and I created the main page for DS1000Z series. I will add more details soon.

Thanks, Ivan747!
I will check on #sigrok how I can help. 

Hope to use sigrok (and contribute to it too)!

I believe the mailing list thread in question is [sigrok-devel] Rigol DS/MSO1000Z.

DS1000Z/MSO1000Z support has now been added.

Note a couple of limitations for the digital channels on the MSO version, discussed in the commit message:

DS1000Z/MSO1000Z support has now been added.

Many thanks! 
Hope to try it out soon!

I know this is an old thread, but has anybody tried sigrok for protocol decoding with a RIGOL scope?

What's your opinion of this combination?

bump: anyone?
