That glitch that you have Eric could be a hardware problem.
I've noticed that my OLS sometimes triggers on the signal from my wireless mouse (or possibly the receiver of the mouse). I also get occasional crosstalk between the input channels. For example if I'm measuring a signal on channel 2 i may sometimes get it on channels 1 and 3 as well. Splitting up the proble cable and holding the individual channel cables apart seems to help.
All right, I have some more feedback. Keep in mind I've only used it in Linux so far, which means that some of these could be platform specific for all I know, and some of these may have been discussed earlier in the thread:
1. Is there a way to display the timing of a cursor directly in the main window? I know it's available under Tools --> Measure, so no big problem really.
2. The time scale has 20 time steps between every time stamp. It looks nice and uncluttery, but my visual system can't automatically count to 20, if you know what I mean. What if there was a taller marker mid-way between time stamps? Picture of how that would look attached at the bottom.
3. I agree with some of the comments about the color scheme. White signals on a black background is neutral and easily viewable, which makes for a good default theme. It would be nice if you could let the user color-mark the signal label and the signal graph separately.
4. Keep up the great work! Your software really adds an incredible amount of value to the hardware.
Nice initiative. I like how it looks and functions with the test device, but I don't know how to get the client to work with my OBLS hardware.
Platform: Linux (Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit) Problems: I don't know how to get it to talk to my OBLS. (SUMP+OBLS works fine after following instructions in another forum thread.)
OLS starts out with this warning:
WARNING: RXTX Version mismatch Jar version = RXTX-2.2 native lib Version = RXTX-2.2pre2
[s:]I think I installed RXTX-2.2pre2 on my system because the SUMP client didn't work when I used RXTX from the Ubuntu repositories.[/s:]
Uh, actually I think I installed RXTX-2.1-7. This is what happens when I run SUMP:
Experimental: JNI_OnLoad called. Stable Library ========================================= Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7 Java lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7 /dev/OpenLogicSniffer
