This device would not replace a professional digital scope, but for the very inexpensive price and its small size, it would be an excellent first learning tool for novice to intermediate electronic and engineering students. The user interface is fairly intuitive and I became proficient in using the tool in a short period of time. The raw data of displays can be exported as a text files. There is a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) graphing display available in real time to see the frequency distribution of the signals. There are some graphical interface measuring tools available. I can record as many frames of data as I want and play it back frame by frame. I can watch two channels of random digital signals in real time or I can freeze the signals and pan forward and backwards about ten fields worth of signals. The DDS 140 software now works very well on my computer. It turned out that my computer's display needed to be changed to a smaller font in the control panel. At first, I did not understand how the controls worked and I did something that made the program freeze. The DDS 140 software loaded quickly with no errors.

#Sainsmart dds140 software drivers#

I ended up uninstalling all the computer's USB drivers and restarting my computer so I could freshly try the driver installation again.

#Sainsmart dds140 software serial#

The driver installed under 'Universal Serial Bus devices' as 'Win Usb device'. Also, for my computer, the driver was not installed under the Device Manager's 'Other Devices' heading as is stated in the installation directions.

When I plugged in the device, Windows 7 kept wanting to install what it thought was the best driver. I had more trouble loading the driver software. I had trouble loading the 3 inch CD into the DVD player but eventually got it to read. I have a Dell T3400, 64 bit, Windows 7, workstation with a NVIDA Quadro NVS 290 graphics card. I'm pleasantly surprised with the abilities of this new tool. I thought I would take a chance with the DDS 140. There is also all the source code published so you can build the one yourself, just need JDK 1.My current analog scope was inadequate to investigate digital signals for a recent project. In order to run it one needs installed 64-bit version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8. Will be happy if anybody find it useful Usage note: it's developed in java and now only supports 64-bit windows platform (java is enough cross-platform, yes, but AFAIK it does not directly support usb devices, so I have a thin JNI library). I've published the work in progress version here It lacks some of planned capabilities but seem to be stable enough (especially compared to stock software) and more user-friendly. After I received DDS140 device I was very much depressed by the fact that despite of claimed functionality and theoretic support I cannot use it for my purpose! Indeed, it turned out that a lot I can do even without any hacking of the firmware by mere writing a stable enough client. Which I've bought to diagnoze the problems I'm having connecting SD card reader to Raspberry Pi (but that's a different story). Inspired by this thread I've created by own version of desktop client for DDS140 Logic Analyzer module. Hi guys! And among those specifically doctormord, psynapse, ganzuul and donut6! Great thanks for what you've done and even more have shared here.

Is anyone using the DDS120 with Parallels Desktop and could possibly give me some pointers as to how to get it working properly? It is making me wonder if not all the USB information is being handed off from OSX through Parallels to Windows 7.

If I hook up the probes to the build in signal generator, and set the software to auto, it appears to be reading a 1000 hz signal, but all the voltage related reading (v Max, v Min, etc.) all say 0. This is where things get strange: I can't see any trace lines in the DDS120 program.

Parallels desktop does acknowledge the connection (listing the device as USB102), and I can start up the DDS120 software and start the probes without an issue. OSX does seem to recognize the DDS120, as it shows up in my Hardware profile after I plug it in. Now I am under the impression that there is no OSX compatible software that works with the DDS120, and I am ok with this as I have both Windows 7 and Windows XP I can run in OSX using Parallels desktop. I believe I could tell them how to do both in a weekвЂ™s time but I am retired and I don. I do suspect they could fix the hardware for the sample jitter and improve the software for the trigger problem.

I have a Windows 7 computer that the DDS120 works great, but from time to time I would like to be able to hook it up to my Mac Pro. Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for SainSmart DDS140 Portable Handheld PC-Based USB Digital Oscilloscope 40MHz Bandwidth. I primarily use it for looking at logic board functions while experimenting with early Solid State pinball machines, and my Arduino Uno. Seeming that the folks on this board are the unofficial experts on the Sain Smart DDS120, I hope you guys might be able to help me with a problem.
