I would love to hear from you! Any feedback is helpful – please reply to this thread or start a new one!
Hi All,
This is an interim release that shows what we’re working on for Timing Markers. I had hoped to have Protocol Analyzers and Electron in here but we’re not quite there yet. Timing Markers also needs more love in terms of making “pairs”, so I won’t post a video this time.
Low expectations please: This alpha is rough, unstable, and lacks crucial functionality.
I haven’t tested it in real case: I’ve only played with the demo generated signals.
Here are some comments / suggestions:
I really like the interface: it is clean and easy to read, with high contrast.
Everything is displayed with large fonts and takes much space. Screen real-estate is a constrained resource, so I would suggest to optimise how it is used.
Make the colour mark of the signal larger. It is early visible.
I’m not a big fan of collapsable panes as they require rather elaborate mouse gestures. Could a double-click be used instead to open and close the pane?
Leverage the RGB LED of the Saleae logic analyser to signal different states: e.g. yellow while waiting for trigger, red when recording, white for memory overflow, green for inactive, …
It’s on the board, tentatively slated for Q4 this year. What I have in mind is where whatever is in the current view is simply exported, by itself, into a new tab. There could be other methods too, will explore more when we’re ready to start working on it.

Thanks! We’re excited about it!
Thanks for the clarification!
It’s not obvious - because there is a lot of clean up that needs to happen, but the “level 2” you describe is what we call the “Scope View” i.e. Oscilloscope View. See the video here: Alpha Release 4 . The “trigger settings button” is specific to the Scope View, that’s why it’s on that panel. “Capture start triggering” like in the old software has moved here:
That said, it does feel like a step backwards in some respects (decoupling the trigger settings from the Channel Labels that is) but will def. be revisited over time.
Something that would have been useful to me the other day is the ability to specify the time on a measurement. I was trying to count the positive pulses in a 60 second period and I could zoom in at each end and carefully click drag the measurement, but if we could have a properties dialog that actually has the start and end positions in seconds that I could have just put in a 0 and 60, that would have been much easier.
Will do.
