My RF gear makes a plausible "vector oscilloscope" (my waveforms that are centered around a carrier get downconverted to vector baseband), although I haven't worked on a spiffy or flexible user interface. Multiple 3-D wire-frame traces of ~1000 points updating faster than the eye can follow, on crappy old Intel laptop graphics chips. I use fltk+opengl, based on the fltk cubeview demo code, processing data brought in over USB at typically 8 Mbyte/sec. - Larry _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
