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.

gds-octave gds_csvwrite now writes GDS-1000A 'Probe' and 'Mode' data (if any) at the normal row position. In gdsh, :ACQuire:HDELAY has been changed to :ACQuire:HDELay. This includes a change of the function :acq:hdelay to :acq:hdel. The GDS-1000A commands :ACQuire<X>:LMEMory and :CHANnel<X>:EXPand were added. The :PRINt command is now only a request, not a query (the :print?, :print_, :prin?, and :prin_ query functions have been removed). gds-read-bin can now read responses to GDS-1000A "long memory" queries (up to 2000000 data points returned).

This release fixed scaling of waveform data when plotted or spectrum is calculated. It adds several octave functions. There is a new gds-analyse program (a wrapper that calls the gds_analyse)
function for octave. It requires octave and the gds-octave package. The gds-csv output format has changed. It is no longer scaled with the vertical resolution. This change is not backward compatible.

Initial support for processing waveform data with GNU Octave was added (gds_csvread, gds_plot, gds_plotspectrum, gds_spectrum). The output format of gds-csv and gds-read-bin was adjusted for this change, too.

Support for controlling multiple oscilloscopes was added. The snapshot tool for GDS-1000 series was fixed. A few more undocumented oscilloscope commands were added.
