First test is to ensure the scope will work with software. Had a few issues with this!

We require two pieces of software:

• Ultra Sigma
• UltraScope

Ultra Sigma is the "connection" software for RIGOL equipment and UlltraScope being the visualisation of the scope itself.

Both of the RIGOL software was being blocked by my firewall so I needed to write a rule to allow to operate properly. Once I worked that i could get both working, sending commands and received the visuals from the scope via UltraScope. 

However the refresh rate ofthe software is very slow, settings possibly need playing with. My laptop isn't the best either so that could also be a factor. 

Sigrok on the other hand is proving very difficult! Can't get communication with the scope at all via sigrok on windows. Tested on Linux it works first time but need to understand Sigrok and find out if you can get a live view or only snapshots.
