I use the cursor facility a lot and the on-screen display cannot be moved from its top-left corner and so it covers a useful part of the screen.
The usage of this python script is as simple as plugging the DS1054Z into your USB port and running the script. A PNG of whatever is on the screen then appears on your drive. Testing has been done on OS X, and it probably works on Linux and Windows. It’s a simple tool that does one job, glory and hallelujah, people are still designing tools this way. More a review about Telonic than the scope itself as haven’t had much time to play with the scope. This one seems to work with Sigrok and Pulseview on Linux via USB which allow to display traces and control settings. So far all the equipment has worked as described, and has already helped in solving a few issues with my antennas systems.I haven’t had much chance to use it for projects, but playing around with it for the past few days it’s a well built device with all the features you could ask for at this price range. Well worth it if you do any electronics work. Anyway, apart from this minor inconvenience, I think this is an amazing device and highly recommended I’ll be using the scope for debugging low speed analog signals and digital protocols/ communication.[...] Tired of squinting at the small numbers on the oscilloscope display, [Alfred] aka [Gaze@] decided to take matters into his own hands and wrote yet another tool to remotely view images from a Rigol DS1054Z. At least that was the initial idea. But, it grew unexpectedly — as [Alfred] says, “the more the project turned out to be fun, the more it got out of hand”. We know the feeling well. In its price range there is nothing that can touch it; this scope puts some higher end scopes I’ve used to shame with what it can do for its price.
The Siglent SDS1204 has the exact same problem, it has about 280Mhz measured bandwidth and sample rate can drop to 500Mhz with all channels on - not enough to garantee the conditions required by signal theory. All products in the DS1000Z series features a high-quality screen with an excellent easy to use interface that lets you access signal information such as frequency, period, rise time, pulse width and much more! I don't own 1054Z, but I recall someone on the forum saying that he has been using 1054Z in his work, and he doesn't like it, because display is sluggish. My only gripe is the fan is quite loud which I believe is a common complaint but easily overlooked or overcome with approx are bench position or otherwise.

This is by far one of the most excellent services I ever seen, although I bought this product privately and not with my professional status. The user interface will be familiar to anyone who has used a scope before. The screen is a good size and the overall quality of the unit is fantastic.
There’s almost too much in the box. It’s going to take a while to play with all these new features, but it should be fun. I would say it is not the language, but the programmer and the framework that have the responsability to correctly organize and manage dependencies. The DS1054Z is quite an upgrade from my trusty DS1052E, especially with the free software upgrades, much clearer screen, 4 channels and an unbeatable price to performance ratio. Great service from TelonicRigol as usual
Mandatory Accessories …
Ultra Sigma software for remote control allows access to many features (most of which I personally am unlikely to use). It's perfectly possible that they aren't being met on a Rigol DS100Z. It has about 130MHz bandwidth and the sample rate drops to 250MHz when you turn all channels on.
However, the issue I have, and which has been discussed endlessly elsewhere, is that the 'DOTS' mode displays dots which are not necessarily data samples. The whole point of wanting to eliminate interpolation is that sometimes you want to see the raw data that the scope is receiving so you have a better idea of what it actually knows and what it is 'reconstructing'. This is very important because the reconstruction theory depends on certain conditions being met--bandwidth limitations and so on--and sometimes there isn't an actual guarantee that they ARE met. I've seen some pretty bizarre results from this on and not just on contrived corner-case examples. I think it is a limitation, and more importantly, it isn't an obviously apparent one. Sometimes the dots are sample points--and sometimes they aren't. I'm not sure what it is doing and I haven't seen a clear explanation yet. Let’s give it a try — I’ll be using a Linux machine and a popular brand of oscilloscope but the technique is widely applicable. So far I’m using https://ds1054z.readthedocs.io/ to read data file from the scope and octave to analyse it, but it is slow – transferring full 24 Mpoints takes over 10 minutes. Quote from: Sudo_apt-get_install_yum on July 30, 2019, 02:16:00 pm I’m looking into getting a basic oscilloscope[...] The Rigol DS1054Z represents a remarkable breakthrough in price and performance. It's one of the best general-purpose 4 channel digital storage oscilloscopes available for the maker electronics space.
The ability to easily move between long record lengths, fast capture, a variety of persistence modes, and onboard waveform analysis makes RIGOL's core oscilloscope technology an important capability for engineers from maker projects to large scale R&D.
Great Deal
