DSAquire

DSAquire allows you to download and plot trace data from a Thurlby DSA524 digital storage adaptor (it's a 25 year old instrument, but better late than never, eh?).
The data is downloaded via an RS232 serial link using a null modem cable.
You can export the plot as an image or export the data in real-world units as a csv file.

This software runs under Linux and also under Windows XP and later using Cygwin. Pre-compiled binaries are supplied, as are full sources under the GPL. The interface of provided via FLTK.

Also hosted here are the service and operators' manuals for this instrument, as well as dumps of the firmware from the EPROM.
Many thanks to those who have preserved these for posterity (the 2.79 and 2.86 firmware dumps where generated by me - the rest has been collected from around the 'net).
