Make a software oscilloscope based on pyacq

[papapel]

Hello,

I would like to design a python based software oscilloscope. I get raw data from an electronic board through USB, Ethernet or serial channel. I have a pyqtgraph based software which displays my data in real time. I would like to add a trigger feature that the user can modify in real-time. I found this project while searching a Python implementation of a trigger.

Is Pyacq suitable for my project ?

I succeed to run/modify some examples. I seems to work well. But which could be the limitations of Pyacq? What is your feedback ? Do you know similar existing projects based on Pyacq?

• my sampling frequency = up to 50kHz
• my data size = from 8 to 64bits
• number of waves = up to 8

I am thinking to replace the noiseGenerator (https://github.com/pyacq/pyacq/blob/master/examples/noise_generator.py) by my data fetching worker and update my plot software with QTriggeredOscilloscope.

pyacq should be ok for your need.

The main limitation with pyacq is that there very few users and very few dev.
I have to admit that I have not enought time to maintain/help/debug as much I would like
I mainly maintain pyacq for need of my labs.

I would advice to wrap you device into a pyacq Node if it is not too complicated and try existing node views.
If it work let you could go fot it.

Thank you for answering me.
I will do what you advised me to do, it makes sense.
