• Owon vds1022i record mode

    I've recently purchased an Owon VDS1022i usb oscilloscope and am
    both impressed and frequently bewildered by it. For the most part
    it seems to be quite good within its technical limits. The computer
    based user interface is more than a little baffling, since I'm still
    stuck in the Tektronix 500-series mindset 8-)

    One feature that looks new and interesting is record mode, which
    writes data to the computer's storage and seemingly sidesteps the
    1022i's very limited sample length. Potentially measurements could
    run for hours, or so I hope. There are two parameters that can be
    set in the record setup: interval time and frame numbers.

    The manual describes how to capture a record, but not much more
    that I can make out. In particular, the relationship between interval,
    frame number and sampling rate isn't obvious. Neither is the data
    format used in the saved file.

    For example, can anybody give a hint how I might record a battery
    voltage curve during charge and discharge over a period of a few
    hours?

    So far I've been using the Linux UI developed by florentbr on GitHub.
    If it helps I do have a Windows 10 machine available to try.

    Thanks for reading
