*** Big shout out to this Teardown Session sponsor: AMD! **

In this episode of the Teardown Sessions, we’re speaking to Aleksa Bjelogrlic, creator of ThunderScope, an open source software defined oscilloscope.

ThunderScope is the first oscilloscope designed for Thunderbolt I/O, allowing real-time sample data to be streamed to your computer at speeds exceeding 1 GB/s. By leveraging the powerful processing capabilities of modern devices this design removes all the limitations of traditional oscilloscopes.

Measurements are made quickly and easily, and the cramped UI is replaced with a multi-window layout that supports modern accessibility features. Sample memory is increased from megabytes to gigabytes and the fixed list of protocols and trigger types is replaced with a constantly expanding repo.

ThunderScope is also open source, so you have complete control of the data from the moment it is sampled. You can easily add your own custom features and benefit from new features…
