Project Description

gds2000tools is a set of command line tools for using the GW Instek GDS-2000 series of oscilloscopes (GDS-2062, GDS-2064, GDS-2102, GDS-2104, GDS-2202, and GDS-2204), GDS-1000 series, GDS-1000A series, GDS-8x0 series, and Voltcraft-plus DSO-4000 and DSO-8000 series DSOs under Linux. The heart is a set of bash shell functions effectively turning a bash shell into a shell for communicating with the oscilloscope and for scripting measurements tasks. 170+ oscilloscope commands are modeled as bash functions. On top of these, additional functions are provided for common high-level tasks like obtaining waveform data as images. Further, GNU octave functions are provided.

A new gdsh command, gds-avail, was added for listing available interfaces. Some 0.13 changes in gdsh's gds-csv and gds-plot were reverted, because they broke sampling period calculation. The gds-octave package got a new gds_bitrate() function for signal bitrate estimation and a new gds_eye() function for drawing an eye diagram. The previous intern gds-octave functions for AM demodulation (gds_am()) and FM demodulation (gds_fm()) are now public. Several of the gds-octave functions now come with demo code. Some minor bugs were fixed and the documentation was improved.

This version contains several bugfixes. For example, bugs when plotting or generating CSV data in Window and Window Zoom mode were fixed. Further, error handling is improved. Some new GDS-1000A commands were added. A new tool was added to convert data to the format of AFG-3000 series function generators. Desktop menu entries and icons are installed for some tools and GDS files.

udev rules and a nautilus script were added. gdsh has several bugfixes, a few undocumented commands have been added, and environment variables have been enhanced. Go/No-Go data can now be read and decoded. Several function have been added to gds-octave, and the installation enhanced. The command line syntax for gds-csv-to-rigol has changed, and preliminary support for the DG5000 was added.
