The attempt of a Micsig (A/S)TO11xx general purpose thread ... :-)
Fungus:
Suggestion #5: Show peaks on FFT measurements
When I use FFT mode I have to use the cursors to find the frequencies of the peaks. This works but it's a lot of effort because the peaks move with the input signal and I have to constantly move the cursors to find the new values.
Suggestion: Label the highest peak on the FFT to show the frequency/dB value.
You could add a button to enable/disable the label but I'm sure I'd leave it on 100% of the time.
Much better would be to show a table of the highest peaks like some other oscilloscopes do:
Even a table with only the three or four highest peaks would be very useful because it lets you easily see if they are harmonics or not.
Maybe the table could be switched on/off using the "FFT labels" button. :)
Fungus:
Suggestion #6: More columns in .csv files.
Saving CSV files from the serial decoder is very nice but at the moment the data saved is like this:
Suggestion: Add more columns to show ASCII values and hexadecimal:
Fungus:
Suggestion #6: Be able to lock the vertical position of channels.
When working with measurement cursors it’s very easy to accidentally move the channel traces by mistake – very annoying!
Suggestion: Add a "lock" button to the channel popup which locks the vertical position of the traces (only on the touch screen - the vertical control knob still works).
You will need an indicator on screen to show that the traces are locked (eg. at top-right). Touching the indicator could unlock the traces, making it easy for people to get out of trouble if they locked them and didn't know how to unlock them. You could even rapidly flash the 'locked' indicator whenever a user touches a trace to draw their attention to it and stop them from panicking and thinking something is broken.
Fungus:
Suggestion #7: There is no suggestion #7!
I've had my Micsig for about a year now and that's literally all I can think of. Everything else is awesome! :-+
If those features could be added then the Micsig would easily be the best oscilloscope under $1000, IMHO. 8)

Extra post for discussion:
My feature requests are:
1) Better text legibility
2) Statistics mode
3) Combine duty cycle into a single value
4) AC RMS
5) FFT improvements
6) More info in CSV files
7) Lock traces
In terms of priority, I think number (2) is the feature most people around here think is "missing" on Micsigs, eg. it came up here today. It's also very easy to implement.
After that, (4) and (5) are what would really raise the profile of the 'scope in these forums. I think I can say that many people here believe that (4) is essential in a scope.
(3) Seems trivial at first but if you implement (4) then you might need two more items in the measurement menu (AC RMS and AC CRMS) and there's only one space at the moment. Combining both pulse width measurements into a single item gives you an extra item. :)
(7) Is annoying when you're trying to align cursors with the trace and you accidentally move the trace then have to go back and align the cursors again.
