USB Oscilloscopes in Linux

This is just my research into them out of curiosity. Just documenting this for my own sake. These are in not order and are mainly the "cheaper" ones.

BitScope Mini/BS10

Manufacturer product page ~ $245 + accessories
sigrok BS10 page

This seems to be a true mixed signal oscilloscope. While there's Linux software for this product, it seems to be proprietary. This is planned for sigrok (open source logic analyzer SW).

Hantek 6022BL and 6022BE

6022BL Manufacturer page ~ $75
6022BE Manufacturer page ~ $70
OpenHantek6022 github
sigrok 6022BL page
sigrok 6022BE page

From my understanding the BL is just the BE but with logic analyzer functionality. The only down side is that you can't use the logic analyzer function while using the oscilloscope functionality. There's multiple open source projects which support these devices. OpenHantek6022 supports both for the oscilloscope functionality. sigrok is mainly used for logic analyzers but support analog and has support for both.

TODO

Other scopes that have Linux support:
