• Fix ADC calibration.

Signal Generator:

• Waveform parameters can be changed while the generator is still active.
• Make use of the new changes in the firmware and hardware of the M2K that assign a DMA to each DAC channel.
• Now uses the highest sample rate supported by hardware.
• Add DAC calibration.

Pattern Generator:

• Single shot generation not implemented yet

Logic Analyzer:

• Trigger settings and GUI items lose sync sometimes. Still needs fixing.

Scopy alpha v0.1

The alpha release of Scopy. Version 0.1.

Available instruments:

• Oscilloscope
• Signal Generator
• Voltmeter
• Power Supply

Work in progress features / known issues:

Oscilloscope:

• Auto trigger is not implemented.
• Single capture is not implemented.
• The sample that meets the trigger conditions doesn't seem to be positioned at time position: 0 (position 0 should be the position indicated by the vertical blue bar).

Signal Generator:

• The frequency of the generated signal doesn't match the desired signal since the application thinks that the DAC sampling rate is at 100MSPS but the actual sample rate is set at 75 MSPS.
• The raw DAC samples that are being streamed to the hardware might cause overflows. It usually happens when setting the signal amplitude to 5V.
