NovaOS features

Each feature on its own page: what it does, what Rigol's firmware offers in its place, how to use it, and a video of it working on our own scopes. Core is in NovaOS for every owner. An add-on goes on sale only once its video is filmed; 3 of 23 have one so far. Core and add-ons against stock.

Core

Bandwidth limit filters

Every band the analog front end really makes, 10 to 150 MHz, each measured, before the converter so the trigger sees it too.

Core · video
Bode plot with the built-in generator

A Bode sweep that settles, checks and averages each point before it moves on.

Core · video
Fast waveform download, ngscopeclient

Waveforms off the scope at the network port's own speed, and ngscopeclient at full speed.

Core · video
Measurements on every sample

Every cycle on the screen counted into the statistics, timed on the captured samples at full rate.

Core · video
NovaOS, the operating system

A current, maintained Linux in place of the scope's 2016 Android, with the scope's own software rebuilt on it.

Core · video
Power-on to the scope screen in about 14 s

The scope screen about 14 s after power-on.

Core · video
Roll mode from 5 ms/div, with a trigger

Roll ten times faster than stock on the DHO800/900, and a trigger that works while rolling.

Core · video
Trigger for slow signals

A normal triggered display at 50 ms/div and slower, instead of being forced into roll.

Core · video
UART / RS232 decode

Stock's UART decoder, made readable: every bit field in its own colour, and long packets decoded from the whole record.

Core · video
Zone trigger

Keep only the acquisitions whose trace passes through, or stays out of, a box you draw on the screen.

Core · video
HDMI output as its own workspace

The monitor gets its own layout at its own resolution, not the 7-inch screen scaled up.

Add-ons

9-bit multidrop UART

RS-485 multidrop buses decoded: addresses told from data, and a trigger on one slave's address only.

Add-on · video
Bode plot with an external generator

A Bode plot from any generator, so scopes without one of their own get Bode too.

Add-on · video
Remote view and touch control

See and drive the scope's screen from another display on the network.

Add-on · video
1-Wire decoder

The whole 1-Wire conversation, from reset to temperature, decoded.

Add-on · video coming
1-Wire through a DS2482 I2C bridge

One view from a microcontroller's I2C write to the 1-Wire part's answer.

Add-on · video coming
CAN-FD decoder

CAN with a flexible-data-rate data phase, decoded on the scope.

Add-on · video coming
DMX512 with RDM decoder

Stage-lighting DMX512 universes and RDM messages, decoded.

Add-on · video coming
Eye diagram and jitter

The eye of a serial signal and its jitter, split into its parts.

Add-on · video coming
FlexRay decoder and trigger

FlexRay frames decoded, and a trigger on a bus position, an error, a frame or a symbol.

Add-on · video coming
I2S decoder and trigger

Digital audio decoded, with a trigger on sample values.

Add-on · video coming
I3C decoder

MIPI I3C messages beside legacy I2C, decoded.

Add-on · video coming
JTAG decoder

JTAG TAP states and shifted data, decoded.

Add-on · video coming
MIL-STD-1553 decoder and trigger

MIL-STD-1553B decoded, with a trigger on the sync, a data word, a terminal address or an error.

Add-on · video coming
Modbus decoder

Modbus frames over a UART or RS-485 line, decoded.

Add-on · video coming
Power analysis

Power quality, ripple, switching and safe-operating-area analysis on the scope.

Add-on · video coming
Protocol watch

The scope keeps looking for buses, and tells you when a new one appears or one changes.

Add-on · video coming
Quad-SPI flash and PSRAM decoder

Serial-flash and PSRAM transfers on one to four data lines, decoded.

Add-on · video coming
S/PDIF and AES3 decoder

Digital audio on S/PDIF and AES3, decoded frame by frame with its channel status.

Add-on · video coming
Spectrum analysis

The FFT made into a spectrum analyzer: markers, RBW, a waterfall and tone measurements.

Add-on · video coming
SWD decoder

ARM Serial Wire Debug, decoded.

Add-on · video coming
USB Power Delivery decoder

USB-PD messages on the CC line, decoded.

Add-on · video coming
Z input

A third channel sets the trace's brightness, in XY and on the time plot.

Add-on · video coming
Zone trigger, any shape

Catch only the acquisitions whose trace enters, or stays out of, an area you draw on the screen, in any shape.
