Ein Gelehrter in seinem Laboratorium ist nicht nur ein Techniker; er steht auch vor den Naturgesetzen wie ein Kind vor der Märchenwelt. - Marie Curie

gpOskar

This program constructs a gnuplot program call from individual voltage measurements, which has been optimized for inclusion in documents. The plot thus represents a snapshot of a digital oscilloscope screen and the program calculates the optimal axis scaling in t-y mode and the default configuration file for gnuplot can easily be extended to perform measurement interpolation, signal analysis, or anything else.

Currently two channels are supported in one graphic.

Build

The project can be built by using make.
You need a working gnuplot installation with version >=5.0

Usage

You need raw data from your oscilloscope in the following form:
#header
Voltage value in volts
Voltage value in volts
...
#header
Voltage value in volts
...

The header contains the channel and the time resolution in seconds as e-notation in the form: #CHX, time resolution.
Example:
#CH1,2e-08
1.42279
1.5
1.57965
...

The raw data should be stored as ASCII text and the basic gnuplot config file is in /src
