The progress round graph is really very annoying. I have already submitted a support request to be removed. It would be much nicer if there is continuous acquisition. Regarding the other issues will look at them too.

From the inexpensive USB logic analyzers, DSLogic series seems to be the most advanced. Presume  with time the software will improve. DSView is open source and hope more developers to get involved and improve it.

Yes. And "Run Once" is like "Single" on a DSO.

Good, do you have an idea about re-arm time ?

I know that it's for sure dependent on capture settings, I need a rough number to understand how much the system is responsive.

This thing is so wrong that could lead to think that no one is really using this tool for real job, how is it possible that no one is crying about that ?

One of the lesson learned in my life is the following : never rely in a open source development for serious things.

My current feeling for my DSLogic plus purchase is that I threw out the window 130 euros, but as we all know sh*t happens.

I like many open source tools. Embedded Artist LabTool https://www.embeddedartists.com/products/labtool/ is not bad, but EA stopped developing further the software. The logic analyzer works fine, but has very basic capabilities. Some of the stuff – size of the windows, signals, colors can be changed via the source code. I like the idea that a product can be changed from the user. Also the interaction with the developers, other users, meeting and discussing issues with other people. A person can purchase an old huge 30+ kg. logic analyzer that works somehow and can not change anything … and where is the fun with that ?

I really hope DSView will improve. There is one saying if something ends badly, this in not the end.
