\subsection{akl.ila}

This driver interfaces to the Antikernel Labs \verb|APB_ILA| or any other RTLDebug compatible internal logic analyzer core, via \href{https://github.com/ngscopeclient/scopehal-akldebug-bridge}{scopehal-akldebug-bridge}

\section{Demo}

The ``demo" driver is a simulation-only driver for development and training purposes, and does not connect to real
hardware. It does not currently model realistic trigger behavior (waveforms are aligned to a fixed phase regardless of
trigger setting), however we hope to simulate realistic triggering in the future.

It ignores any transport provided, and is normally used with the ``null" transport.

The demo instrument is intended to illustrate the usage of ngscopeclient for various types of analysis and to aid in
automated testing on computers which do not have a connection to a real oscilloscope, and is not intended to accurately
model the response or characteristics of real world scope frontends or signals.

It supports memory depths of 10K, 100K, 1M, and 10M points per waveform at rates of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 Gsps.
Four analog test signals are provided, as well as a series of digital signals.

The analog signals can be configured in three different modes using the ``ADC mode" selector:
\begin{itemize}
\item Ideal waveform with no added impairments
\item Ideal waveform with 10 mV of AWGN
\item Ideal waveform with 10 mV of AWGN through an S-parameter ISI model of a 300mm FR-4 microstrip
\end{itemize}

Analog test signals:
\begin{itemize}
\item Tone: 1.000 GHz tone
\item Ramp: 1.000 GHz steady tone plus a second tone which sweeps from 1.100 to 1.500 GHz
\item PRBS31: 10.3125 Gbps PRBS-31
\item 8B10B: 1.25 Gbps repeating two 8B/10B symbols (K28.5 D16.2)
\end{itemize}

Digital test signals:
\begin{itemize}
\item Unidirectional SPI bus transmitting an ASCII hello-world message
\item UART transmitting an ASCII hello-world message
\item 8-bit parallel bus plus clock counting from 00 to FF
\end{itemize}

\section{Batronix}

A driver for Batronix Magnova oscilloscope is available in the codebase.
It has been developped, with the help of Batronix team, according to official SCPI documentation for Magnova oscilloscope
(Magnova® SCPI Manual - Version 1.5). This driver has been developed and tested on a Magnova BMO350 running firmware version 1.7.1.

Here are the known limitations of this driver (that should be fixed with further Magnova firmware updates):
\begin{itemize}

\item For now, Magnova's SCPI implementation does not support digital signal acquisition.

\item Selecting specific Arbitrary waveform from function generator is not possible with current Magnova SCPI implementation.

\item Time Scale / Memory Depth / Sample Rate synchronization only work if the scope is in "Extended Capture" mode (Acquire menu).

\end{itemize}

These figures were obtained from a Magnova BMO350 running firmware version 1.7.1.

\section{Digilent}

Digilent oscilloscopes using the WaveForms SDK are all supported using the ``digilent" driver in libscopehal. This
driver connects using the ``twinlan" transport to a \href{https://github.com/ngscopeclient/scopehal-waveforms-bridge}
{socket server} which links against the Digilent WaveForms SDK. This provides network transparency, and allows the
Digilent bridge server to be packaged separately for distribution and only installed by users who require it.

As of 2022-03-09, analog input channels on the Analog Discovery Pro and Analog Discovery 2 have been tested and are
functional, however only basic edge triggering is implemented so far. Analog inputs on other devices likely work,
however only these two have been tested to date.

Analog outputs, digital inputs, and digital outputs are currently unimplemented, but are planned to be added in the
future.

\subsection{haasoscope pro}

HaasoscopePro is an affordable 2 GHz bandwidth 3.2 GS/s (expandable to 6.4 GS/s) 12-bit open-source open-hardware USB oscilloscope.
For more info see the \href{https://github.com/drandyhaas/HaasoscopePro}{HaasoscopePro github}.
This driver connects to a Haasoscope Pro GUI, which must first be running, over a LAN socket.
It supports ~50 Hz of update rate for moderate memory depth.

\section{DreamSource Lab}

DreamSourceLabs oscilloscopes and logic analyzers supported in their fork of sigrok (``libsigrok4DSL'' distributed as part of
their ``DSView'' software package) are supported through the ``dslabs'' driver in libscopehal. This driver connects using
the ``twinlan'' transport to a \href{https://github.com/ngscopeclient/scopehal-sigrok-bridge}{socket server} which links
against libsigrok4DSL. This provides network transparency, and allows the DSLabs bridge server to be packaged separately for
distribution and only installed by users who require it.

As of 2022-03-22, a DSCope U3P100 and a DSLogic U3Pro16 has been tested and works adequately. Other products may work
also, but are untested. EDIT 2026-07-23: some user are reporting problems due to DSLabs software changes.

On DSCope: Only edge triggers are supported. `Any' edge is not supported. ``Ch0 \&\& Ch1'' and ``Ch0 || Ch1'' trigger modes
are not supported.

On DSLogic: Only edge triggers are supported. All edges are supported. There is currently no way to configure a trigger on more
than one channel. Serial / multi-stage triggers are not supported.

Known issues pending fixes/refactoring:
\begin{itemize}
	\item Interleaved sample rates are not correctly reported in the timebase dialog (but are in the waveform display)
	\item Trigger position is quantized to multiples of 1\% of total capture
	\item Non-localhost performance, and responsiveness in general may suffer as a result of hacky flow control on waveform capture
	\item DSLogic depth configuration is confusing and performance could be improved (currently only buffered more is supported)
	\item DSLogic devices trigger even if pre-trigger buffer has not been filled, leading to a small pre-trigger waveform in some cases
\end{itemize}

\section{Generic}

Drivers in this section are not specific to a particular manufacturer's products and support a wide variety of similar
devices.

\subsection{socketcan}
\label{driver:socketcan}

This driver exposes the Linux SocketCAN API as a stream of CAN messages which can be displayed as-is or used as input
to other filter graph blocks. When paired with the ``socketcan" transport and a suitable CAN peripheral, it allows
ngscopeclient to be used as a CAN bus protocol analyzer. Since SocketCAN is a Linux-only API, this driver is not
available on other platforms.

\section{Hantek}
TODO (\issue{scopehal}{26})

\section{Keysight}

Keysight devices support a similar similar SCPI command set across most device families. Many Keysight devices were
previously sold under the Agilent brand and use the same SCPI command set, so they are supported by the ``agilent"
driver (which is also aliased as ``keysight" and can be used under either name)

Please see the table below for details of current hardware support:

\section{Pico Technology}

Pico oscilloscopes all have slightly different command sets, but are supported using the ``pico" driver in libscopehal.
This driver connects via the ``twinlan" transport to a socket server
\href{https://github.com/ngscopeclient/scopehal-pico-bridge}{scopehal-pico-bridge} which connects to the appropriate
instrument using Pico's binary SDK.

\section{Rigol}

Rigol oscilloscopes have subtle differences in SCPI command set, but this is implemented with quirks handling in the
driver rather than needing different drivers for each scope family.

NOTE: DS1054Z firmware 00.04.02.SP4 is known to have problems with SCPI remote control
(\issue{scopehal-apps}{790}); it is unclear what other models and firmware versions may
be affected by this bug. If you encounter problems, please ensure your scope is running the latest firmware release
from Rigol before opening a support ticket.

\subsection{rs}

There is partial support for RTM3000 (and possibly others, untested) however it appears to have bitrotted.

TODO (\issue{scopehal}{59})

\subsection{rs\_rto6}

This driver supports the newer RTO6 family scopes (and possibly others, untested).

\subsection{rs\_rtb2k}

A driver for RTB2000 and RTB2 oscilloscope.
Analog and digital channels are supported. An external trigger and a line trigger are available.
The function generator can be used with some restrictions.

This driver is in early stage and has significant limitations and bugs. We are exploring whether to merge it with the
original legacy \texttt{rs} driver or continue updating it, but no progress can be made without a volunteer maintainer
who has access to a scope for testing. If you are interested in taking over maintainership of this driver please reach
out!

\begin{itemize}
\item The bit depth can be changed between 8 bits and 16 bits in the driver settings.
\item The selection lists with the sample rate and memory depth only work correctly with a fixed memory depth.
\item Entries in the selection list for the memory depth are rounded up, resulting in several identical entries.
\item When the oscilloscope is in Run mode and connected to ngscopeclient, data acquisition starts automatically.
\item When connecting the oscilloscope with line trigger to ngscopeclient, a trigger channel must be selected before changing the trigger. Otherwise, the program will crash.
\item The progress bar for downloading digital channels is only displayed for one channel.
\item If only the first logic probe is connected, only these 8 channels are displayed. The second logic probe is not recognized during operation.
\item The triggers for pattern and bus are missing. Many other triggers are partially implemented in the code but disabled due to bugs and will need refactoring to be usable.

\section{Siglent}

A driver for SDS2000X+/HD is available in the codebase which has been developed according to Siglent offical documentation
(Programming Guide PG01-E11A). This driver should be functional across the 'next generation' SDS800X HD, SDS1000X HD, SDS2000X+,
SDS2000X HD, SDS5000X, SDS6000A/L/Pro and SDS7000A scopes. It has been primarily developed using the SDS2000X+ and SDS2000X HD.
Some older generation scopes are supported as well.

Digital channels are not supported on any scope yet, due to lack of an MSO probe to test with. Many trigger types are
not yet supported.

\section{Teledyne LeCroy / LeCroy}

Teledyne LeCroy (and older LeCroy) devices use the same driver, but two different transports for LAN connections.

While all Teledyne LeCroy / LeCroy devices use almost identical SCPI command sets, Windows based devices running
XStream or MAUI use a custom framing protocol (``vicp") around the SCPI data while the lower end RTOS based devices use
raw SCPI over TCP (``lan").

Please see the table below for details on which configuration to use with  your hardware.

\subsection{lecroy}

This is the primary driver for MAUI based Teledyne LeCroy / LeCroy devices.

This driver has been tested on a wide range of Teledyne LeCroy / LeCroy hardware. It should be compatible with any
Teledyne LeCroy or LeCroy oscilloscope running Windows XP or newer and the MAUI or XStream software.

\subsection{lecroy\_fwp}

This is a special performance-enhanced extension of the base ``lecroy" driver which takes advantage of the FastWavePort
feature of the instrument to gain high speed access to waveform data via shared memory. Waveforms are pulled from
shared memory when a synchronization event fires, then pushed to the client via a separate TCP socket on port 1862.

On low latency LANs, typical performance increases observed with SDA 8Zi series instruments are on the order of 2x
throughput vs using the base driver downloading waveforms via SCPI. On higher latency connections such as VPNs, the
performance increase is likely to be even higher because the push-based model eliminates the need for polling (which
performs increasingly poorly as latency increases).

To use this driver, your instrument must have the XDEV software option installed and the
\href{https://github.com/ngscopeclient/scopehal-fwp-bridge}{scopehal-fwp-bridge} server application running. If the
bridge or option are not detected, the driver falls back to SCPI waveform download and will behave identically to the
base ``lecroy" driver.

There are some limitations to be aware of with this driver:
\begin{itemize}

\item Maxmimum memory depth is limited to no more than 40M samples per channel, regardless of installed instrument
memory. This is an architectural limitation of the FastWavePort API; the next generation FastMultiWavePort API eliminates
this restriction however scopehal-fwp-bridge does not yet support it due to poor documentation.

\item MSO channels are not supported, because neither FastWavePort nor FastMultiWavePort provide shared memory access to
digital channel data. There is no known workaround for this given current instrument APIs.

\item A maximum of four analog channels are supported even if the instrument actually has eight. There are no major
technical blockers to fixing this under FastWavePort however no 8-channel instruments are available to the developers as
of this writing, so there is no way to test potential fixes. FastMultiWavePort has a limit of four channels per instance,
but it may be possible to instantiate multiple copies of the FastMultiWavePort block to work around this.

\item Math functions F9-F12 are used by the FastWavePort blocks and cannot be used for other math functions.

\end{itemize}

\section{Tektronix}

This driver is being primarily developed on a MSO64. It supports SCPI over LXI VXI-11 or TCP sockets.

The hardware supports USBTMC, however waveform download via USBTMC does not work with libscopehal for unknown reasons.

\thinhline
MSO6 series & tektronix & lan, lxi &  \\
\thickhline
\end{tabularx}

\subsection{Note regarding ``lan" transport on MSO5/6}

The default settings for raw SCPI access on the MSO6 series use a full terminal emulator rather than raw SCPI
commands. To remove the prompts and help text, go to Utility | I/O, then under the Socket Server panel select protocol
``None" rather than the default of ``Terminal".
