08:55 <d1b2> <fredzo_72653> Hi @azonenberg , I'm starting to work on TinySA driver and I was thinking: should there be a dedicated entry in the "Add" menu for specans only instruments?

12:20 <d1b2> <azonenberg> Probably long term, but near term just make it treated as an oscilloscope

12:20 <d1b2> <azonenberg> We have a lot of duplicated code for different instrument drivers that i am trying to unify

12:20 <d1b2> <azonenberg> e.g. in file load/save

12:20 <d1b2> <azonenberg> i don't want to make the problem worse right now

12:20 <d1b2> <azonenberg> the oscilloscope class already has methods for a frequency-domain timebase

12:20 <d1b2> <azonenberg> realistically a SA is just a scope that outputs amplitude vs frequency instead of amplitude vs time waveforms

12:20 <d1b2> <azonenberg> and a RTSA doesn't even always do that

12:21 <d1b2> <azonenberg> it makes sense for them to share most of the code

13:31 <d1b2> <fredzo_72653> OK no problem, I'll stick to that and may be just create a base class for SCPISA that can be used later if we create an dedicated entry.

13:39 <d1b2> <azonenberg> yeah you can make a base class derived from scpioscilloscope if that makes sharing functionality easier
