I wouldn't recommend this LA to anyone. I bought this almost 2 years ago and tried to get access to the information needed to add the support without success. There is a thread on the mailing list about this.

The specs are nice on papers, but have had crashes on their latest app version on windows. It is a pain in the butt to make it work under wine, you have to have fingers crossed and the tongue at the right angle :) Hardware-wise, It has only -0.3-5.5V absolute ratings (3.6 on triggers) which is not ideal.

I paid way too much (~ €300) for the value I get from it. If you really want Asix, you better get the sigma version which is supported by sigrok.

For what it's worth, I recently purchased an Asix Omega and it seems to be a pretty decent bit of kit. I've not pushed it to the limit, but so far it does what it says on the tin. Only criticism of the hardware would be that, for the price, I found the quality of the supplied probes a bit wanting (cheap ribbon cable). There is sigrok support for their older model (the Sigma) but NOT for the Omega. Asix unfortunately seem to not be interested in adding support themselves, but will give advice if anyone wants to do it for them. I may get around to doing this myself, but right at the moment I can't, so no promise. Never know - maybe Asix will add support if they get enough pressure from potential customers.
