UNI-T UT2025B Digital Storage Oscilloscope

This is the best scope of the H.A.C.K. right now, I attached the repackaged official software (smaller and extractable by free software) and the official documentation in PDF. The official software runs only on Windows 2000 and XP, and is capable of taking screenshots and saving them in BMP format, but only when using the USB interface using its custom driver.

Experimental screenshot capture with Python

The code can be found in the GitHub repository of the project and is available under MIT license.

Screen colors (as transmitted via USB)

Although the version H.A.C.K. has is monochrome only, a 4-bit color bitmap is transmitted via USB. The following table contains the 9 colors I identified so far, feel free to extend it if needed.

ID	Used for	Example on the right
0	background	235,235,235
1	3D light, right box background	50,50,50
5	3D dark	255,255,255
6	"Trig'd"	0,127,0
8	grid	127,127,127
12	CH1	255,0,0
13	CH2	0,0,255
14	"UNI-T", "Math"	170,85,0
15	right box foreground, measure	0,0,127

SimpleDSO

As kounst pointed it out in his comment on Hack a Day, there is a similar, more advanced project going on with the same goals.

• Blog post: http://zmatkar.k25.cz/?page_id=125&lang=en
• SourceForge project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpledso/

For the purposes of commiting contributions and resistance against centralized infrastructure, I mirrored the SourceForge Subversion repository to a GitHub repository.
