ok this is nice, pushing an update shortly
<azonenberg>
vastly improves performance on high-latency connections or slow scopes
<azonenberg>
full closed-loop feedback system that tries to poll 2-3 times between triggers
<azonenberg>
before, on faster connections you'd be hammering the scope with 50+ polls between triggers and it would mess things up
<azonenberg>
in particular, it would dominate the scope's processing power / connection bandwidth and you'd have less time for things like querying settings

[scopehal-apps] azonenberg 9e9b3a4 - Major refactoring of poll management in ScopeThread
<azonenberg>
interestingly it seems to have the opposite effect on fast-triggering scopes with high-latency connections
<azonenberg>
the delay drops to rock bottom because one round trip time is less than the trigger delay
<azonenberg>
so by the time you get your request to check trigger status out to the scope, it's already triggered
<azonenberg>
I have two good polar opposite platforms to test on, a relatively slow wavesurfer on a low-latency lan link
<azonenberg>
and your rigol over a WAN link
<azonenberg>
limited by cpu and network respectively
<whitequark>
azonenberg: still using the scope?
<azonenberg>
I did a test about 2 minutes ago but if you need it, i'm not actively on it right now
<azonenberg>
i wanted to do some work on the write side still
<azonenberg>
this last test was focusing on general performance on high latency connections
<whitequark>
nope, i don't need it, just wondering if it needs to stay on
<azonenberg>
I'd appreciate it if possible
<whitequark>
ok
<whitequark>
i wonder if it will stay alive if i put something through the fan blades
<azonenberg>
is it too noisy for you?
<azonenberg>
if you're trying to sleep or something, i can go do something else
<azonenberg>
it's not super urgent
<azonenberg>
i did the test i really wanted to do
<whitequark>
it's not very noisy but i don't like this kind of noise specifically
<whitequark>
and no i just woke up
<whitequark>
anyway, keep using it for now
<whitequark>
it's more of a long term thing
<azonenberg>
Yeah understood - i mean, once i get the driver written i wont need access to it anymore :)
<azonenberg>
That said, it is a good testbed (specifically your scope in russia with me outside seattle) for seeing how scopehal/glscopeclient handles really slow links
<whitequark>
honestly i might just stuff it somewhere i don't have to hear it and leave it on
<whitequark>
i don't plan to use a scope in short term fuutre

[scopehal] azonenberg labeled issue #67: Figure out how to handle scopes without 50 ohm input better - https://git.io/fjlMF
<whitequark>
azonenberg: i looked through the list of issues
<whitequark>
what do you plan to use as DUT e.g. for 25C flash?
<whitequark>
i can give you a shell with a flash, a glasgow, and a saleae logic
<azonenberg>
or i could hook it up to my ac701 or any of a dozen other targets - that's not the problem
<azonenberg>
it's time to write decoders :)
<azonenberg>
Working two jobs and building a house while occasionally running off to rescue people doesnt leave a lot of spare time
<azonenberg>
the only reason i'm here doing this right now is that i'm bottlenecked waiting for a sim for $sidegigclient and it's too late at night to run power tools
<whitequark>
ahh
<azonenberg>
The rigol is seriously helpful, because there's high demand for it and i dont have a ds1104z
<azonenberg>
But i have a saleae at work, plus a bunch of other random fpga boards etc
<azonenberg>
custom sniffer boards for usb and ethernet
<whitequark>

anyway the issue i was debugging most recently is that when i try to change a channel from dc to ac coupling nothing happens
<azonenberg>
probably some subtle error in command formatting
