So apparently siglent's VNAs go to 26.5 GHz now
<azonenberg>
might have to demo one of them, although it'd be a pain to fit one in my lab as they're full sized instruments with displays
<d1b2>
<fox.sabrina> for working with the mso5000 specifically, pulling waveform files off via ftp or usb i've found several orders faster than the ethernet scpi interface
<azonenberg>
That's hilarious
<azonenberg>
can you script a FTP waveform download over scpi?
<azonenberg>
if so that might be a plausible way to pull data off moving forward lol
<d1b2>
<fox.sabrina> yeah, you can enable ssh on them, and move files over sftp, and ftp as well iirc
<d1b2>
<fox.sabrina> when i was getting LA support for the bin format working that was my primary workflow
<azonenberg>
PRs for integrating that as a supported waveform download method in scopehal are welcome lol
<azonenberg>
i'd suggest making it a new driver derived from the main rigol driver
<azonenberg>
and just override AcquireData()
<azonenberg>
Also, as a status update... i've been in crunch mode getting my ethernet switch board ready to fab, but i just sent gerbers out to order
<d1b2>
<fox.sabrina> might get that working as a driver next time i take some time off work
<azonenberg>
And my $dayjob craziness is likely to be coming to a near-term end soon as i expect to be WFH a fair bit of July
<azonenberg>
And maybe august
<azonenberg>
which means another 20 hours a week not commuting that i can spend in my lab instead :p

<lle_bout> @azonenberg I upgraded my Rigol scope to latest firmware and compiling your software on Fedora to test it, so far so good following the manual with latest git master, it's compiling
<d1b2>
<lle_bout> I don't have any precise goal right now, I'm just bored with equipment on my desk

<lle_bout> $ ngscopeclient ngscopeclient: /home/lle-bout/Downloads/scopehal-apps/src/imgui/imgui_draw.cpp:2150: ImFont* ImFontAtlas::AddFontFromFileTTF(const char*, float, const ImFontConfig*, const ImWchar*): Assertion `(0) && "Could not load font file!"' failed. Aborted (core dumped) Some font problem apparently, even though they were installed as /usr/share/ngscopeclient/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf etc. Investigating.
<d1b2>
<lle_bout> It seems to be looking for them in /usr/share/glscopeclient/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf instead according to strace.., even though I am running ngscopeclient and that the install script from CMake did not install them in a folder named glscopeclient anywhere.
<d1b2>
<lle_bout> glscopeclient seems to open fine though
<azonenberg>
interesting, well you should easily be able to copy the files
<azonenberg>
to the location it's looking for
<azonenberg>
The install feature is not super well tested because most of the devs just run out of working copies from git lol
<azonenberg>
And i'm working on a porper fix right now
<_whitenotifier-6>
[scopehal-apps] azonenberg 18a4876 - Updated to latest scopehal
<juh>
i have convinced it to build under docker, but i’m not well versed in using docker as a build system without then having to run the thing in docker too. i’m planning to explore some of that eventually
<azonenberg>
juh: yeah generally improving the build and install flow is on the wishlist
<azonenberg>
as well as working with GyrosGier who made wip debian packages a long time ago but i dont think has updated them since
<azonenberg>
but i didnt want to try and get them into mainline debian until we had something more closely resembling a stable release
