ScopeLab

ScopeLab brings your bench instruments to the Mac. Connect to an oscilloscope or spectrum analyser on your network, or to classic GPIB gear through a USB adapter, and capture, measure, analyse and share waveforms in a native macOS app.

ScopeLab reads the real sample data from your instrument — not a screenshot of its display — and draws, measures and analyses it on your Mac. That includes measurements and FFT analysis your instrument may only offer as a paid option, or not at all.

NATIVE GPIB ON THE MAC — NO DRIVER NEEDED ScopeLab talks directly to NI GPIB-USB-HS adapters and to Prologix-compatible adapters such as the RP488, over USB or LAN — without installing any kernel extension or vendor software. With an NI adapter, ScopeLab scans the bus and identifies the instruments behind it; with a Prologix-compatible adapter, you add instruments by address. Decades of capable bench equipment become usable on a modern Mac again.

FIND YOUR INSTRUMENTS • Automatic discovery of LXI instruments on the local network • Add any instrument by address, over LAN or GPIB • Safe GPIB bus scan on NI adapters that never leaves the bus stalled • GPIB instruments are remembered between launches

CAPTURE AND VIEW • Multi-channel waveform capture at full record length • Digital logic channels alongside analogue traces • Fast, responsive display even with millions of samples • Per-channel vertical scale and offset, starting from the instrument's own settings • Light, dark or document theme

MEASURE • Automatic measurements: peak-to-peak, RMS, mean, amplitude, top and base, frequency, period, rise and fall time, overshoot, and delay between channels • Configurable 10/90 or 20/80 thresholds • Two markers with Δt, ΔV and 1/Δt readouts, snapped to real samples

ANALYSE • FFT spectrum with rectangular, Hann, Hamming, Blackman-Harris and flat-top windows • Automatic peak detection • Spectrum analyser traces read directly from the instrument

SAVE AND SHARE • Save captures as documents and reopen them later, fully measurable • Export to vector PDF, PNG or CSV, including instrument settings • What you export is exactly what you see

TRY IT WITHOUT HARDWARE A built-in demo scope provides a simulated two-channel capture, so every feature can be explored without an instrument.

SUPPORTED INSTRUMENTS • Siglent SDS2000X Plus oscilloscopes (LAN) • Siglent SSA3000X Plus spectrum analysers (LAN) • Yokogawa DL1540C oscilloscope (GPIB) Other instruments are listed and identified, and more are being added.

FREE TO TRY ScopeLab is free to download, with every feature unlocked for 14 days. Afterwards, acquiring, viewing, measuring and FFT remain free; saving and exporting are unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase. Captures you have saved always stay openable.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN ScopeLab talks only to your instruments. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Your data stays on your Mac.
