You will find this forum an excellent place to get good feedback. I sent some suggestions to Micsig in January and they said they liked them but I don't know anything more since then.

I can repeat them here. I tried to keep them in the "spirit of Micsig" - nothing crazy, no big changes to the UI :)

Here we go, one suggestion per post:

Fungus:
Suggestion 1: Improve the text readability.

Some of the text is very hard to read, especially the red text of the math channel. Here's a photograph of the screen:


The camera makes it look worse, but even on a screen capture you can see the problem clearly - many of the horizontal and vertical lines are hard to see because of the antialiasing combined with red color:


My suggestion is to draw the text in white (which is much more legible) and draw a border around it in the color of the math channel:

(compare the white text with the red text on the left - white is much more legible)

nb. 'White text with colored border' also matches the scheme used by the channel menus:  :)

Fungus:
Suggestion 2: Add 'statistics' mode:

Some measurements are very hard to make, eg. noise measurements, because the values on screen are constantly changing.

With statistics mode the values on screen show the average of all readings taken. This number will stabilize over time and give good values.

My suggestion is to add a button on screen to turn statistics on/off:



When statistics are on you just accumulate the values of all readings then display that sum divided by the number of readings. Easy!

Fungus:
Suggestion 3: Combine positive and negative duty cycle into a single reading.

Positive and negative duty cycle are just two numbers that add up to 100%, they can be shown using a single reading on screen:

Suggestion: combine them into a single reading:

Before:


After (both readings combined):



This makes "duty cycle" into a single menu item and creates extra space in the list space for suggestion #4....

Fungus:
Suggestion #4: "AC RMS" measurement (RMS of signal with DC offset removed).

If I have a 1.5V signal with noise then I have no way to measure that noise. Eg in this image the "RMS" value shows 1.488 volts - not what I want. PK-PK is 180mV - not what I want either. I want the RMS of just that component of the signal.  :-//



Suggestion: Add a measurement that shows RMS of (x – mean(x))



On other oscilloscopes this is called "Standard deviation" mode, eg. on R&S:
