SimpleRigolGrab

dmf 5.14.20

Persistent menu bar GUI to handle grabbing Rigol screen images at will

Compiles to an OS X app using 'python3 setup.py py2app'. So this is done for now, pending additional improvements/ideas.

Also runs from the command line 'python3 SimpleRigolGrab'.

Configuration

• Rigol connected to ethernet with known IP address

• Known IP address and output folder stored in

   '~/Library/Application Support/SimpleRigolGrab.json'
  

Functionality

python3 simple_rigol_grab.py

• Grab the image from the rigol

• If success,

  • prompt for a filename descriptor,
  • save a .png image file to disk, and
  • display the image on the screen for 5s

• If fail,

  • error message popup

• Done

• The goal was to convert this to an app -> click and done -> use py2app -> Works well!

In progress

• See comments in code. Should handle missing files, bad formats, etc. To be done.
