Linux interface for THS7xxA series of oscilloscopes

Thscopy

In the current release screen capture is implemented. Unlike other programs on the web with similar result, thscopy does not require the hard copy button to be pressed before initiating download.
thscopy itself sets output format of hardcopy to be BMP format and requests a hard copy to be transmitted by the oscilloscope. Output file is saved as thsdump.bmp by default but can be saved to another file by using a command line option.

Requirements (or assumptions made by thscopy):

Communication is with oscilloscope on /dev/ttyS1 at 38400 Baud with 8N1 format (Confirm these settings on the oscilloscope menu->utilities->rs232)

For command line help use thscopy -h

In this package are the following files:
README - rudimentary documentation for this primitive code
thscopy.c - C source code for the program
thscopy - binary compiled on Fedora Core 1 Linux system

It does not require X11 to be installed / running since it is a command line utility. Use xv, gimp or another graphics viewing package to actually look at the output image saved to disk.

Eventual plans:

- implement a GUI with realtime display of waveforms
- implement a measurement setup to display all measurements for each channel as per selection in another GUI window
- implement raw data capture and saving to local disk and to use as a reference giving a non-realtime extra logical channel feature...
