Supported Hardware

This is a brief list of hardware known to work with libscopehal and ngscopeclient, sorted by manufacturer. Similar models may work as well although correct functionality is not guaranteed. We’d love to hear results (successful or otherwise) of testing with instruments not listed here.

For full details on which features are or are not supported by particular drivers, known issues, etc. please see the appropriate section of the user manual.

A “slow” marking indicates that the device is supported, but known to have poor performance due to instrument firmware limitations. (Many benchtop scopes, even relatively high end ones, are not well optimized for remote control. Delays of hundreds of milliseconds between the trigger and the API reporting availability of data, and multiple seconds to actually download waveform data, are not uncommon on entry level instruments)

All MAUI based oscilloscopes share a common command set and should work for data capture and remote control without any additional driver development, but the dropdown lists for supported sample rates and memory depths have to be added to the driver for each model. The models below have been recently tested, others can be easily added if required.

• DDA5000A
• HDO9000
• SDA 8Zi
• SDA 8Zi-A
• WaveRunner 8000
• WaveRunner 9000
• WaveSurfer 3000 (slow)
