03:18 <_whitenotifier-1> [scopehal-apps] azonenberg 9feebbe - Initial work on scopevna test app

04:33 <azonenberg> this works better than i expected for no cal whatsoever lol

10:35 <d1b2> <dannas> The Rigol programming manuals for lower end scopes have their examples in USB. I wonder if the SCPI implementation for the usb stack and LXI are equivalent.e

10:37 <d1b2> <dannas> I'll do some experiments with pyvisa and see if I can get better results there using LXI. And I might take a peek at sigroks implementation. And I can try using USB as well to see if that makes a difference.

10:38 <d1b2> <dannas> Let's see how much time I have this evening. I hooked up the tracy profiler to glscopeclient during lunch break. That might be useful for me to get a quick grasp on how the parts fit together.

10:40 <d1b2> <dannas> I noticed that GTK doesn't own the main loop, but rather glscopelicent regularly makes Gtk::Main::iterations() calls from ScopeApp::Run()

10:41 <d1b2> <dannas> There's a couple of calls to iterations() from other places as well to make progress when the UI-thread is blocked on some long running task. Looked into that due to a couple of occasions when the glscopeclient did not respond to input while waiting for waveforms from the scope.

10:48 <azonenberg> Correct. That's why I did it

10:48 <azonenberg> If I have a slow thing in the UI thread I don't want to block other event handling

10:49 <azonenberg> I try to push stuff to background threads when possible but it doesn't always work out

18:51 <Degi> dannas: I think Rigol wanted to make a better firmware where the LAN data transfer is faster sometime in june but till now there hasn't been an update yet.

18:51 <Degi> bvernoux, have you heard anything?

20:13 <bvernoux> re

20:14 <bvernoux> Degi, yes they have pushed again the dead line to release the firmware

20:14 <bvernoux> I checked this issue in our case management system. Well, our R&D has determined the planed finish date as Dec 31st, 2021.

20:14 <bvernoux> I am so sorry for keeping you waiting so long time. I will track this case and let you know immediately if I get any update.

20:14 <bvernoux> I really doubt we will see a release ...

20:23 <Degi> Hmm yes, kinda worried about that too, I hope that they stay with that date. Thank you for keeping on it !

20:35 <bvernoux> Yes I will ask again on Jan 2022 ;)

20:35 <bvernoux> Rigol MSO5k are really amazing but it is a raw diamond ;)

20:36 <bvernoux> If they could optimize that I think other lags will be solved too
