SainSmart DDS120 & DDS140 USB Oscilloscope
CAlan:
Seeming that the folks on this board are the unofficial experts on the Sain Smart DDS120, I hope you guys might be able to help me with a problem.
I primarily use it for looking at logic board functions while experimenting with early Solid State pinball machines, and my Arduino Uno. I have a Windows 7 computer that the DDS120 works great, but from time to time I would like to be able to hook it up to my Mac Pro.
Now I am under the impression that there is no OSX compatible software that works with the DDS120, and I am ok with this as I have both Windows 7 and Windows XP I can run in OSX using Parallels desktop.
OSX does seem to recognize the DDS120, as it shows up in my Hardware profile after I plug it in. Parallels desktop does acknowledge the connection (listing the device as USB102), and I can start up the DDS120 software and start the probes without an issue.
This is where things get strange: I can't see any trace lines in the DDS120 program. If I hook up the probes to the build in signal generator, and set the software to auto, it appears to be reading a 1000 hz signal, but all the voltage related reading (v Max, v Min, etc..) all say 0. It is making me wonder if not all the USB information is being handed off from OSX through Parallels to Windows 7.
Is anyone using the DDS120 with Parallels Desktop and could possibly give me some pointers as to how to get it working properly?

Do you have GFX-acceleration enabled on Parallels? You're right, all the readings are done software. The scope only sends raw ADC data.

ive tried it with both directx enabled and disabled. It makes no difference.
doctormord:
I will try to reproduce this in my setup. (OSX + Parallels Win7)
CAlan:
So have you gotten it to work with parallels? I also have tried it with both windows 7 and XP with Parallels. I get the same results. I'm using a 2010 Mac Pro with OSX 10.9.5 and a PCI usb card.
