Using an oscilloscope as Software Defined Radio source for GNU Radio.

The master branch supports GNU Radio 3.10, while branches for 3.7 and 3.8 are available for older GNU Radio versions.

Assumes the availability of RPC for communication over VXI11 with an oscilloscope. Tested on Rohde & Schwarz RTO2034 and RTE1054, will most probably work on any RT series oscilloscopes. Origianlly developed for the Agilent 54855DSO but not tested after adding support for R&S instruments. Pull-down menu for selecting which oscilloscope is used: 0 for a dummy data source provided by the TCP/IP server in the examples directory (see screenshot below), 1 for R&S, 2 for Agilent.

For those wanting to test gr-oscilloscope with no hardware access, a TCP server generating dummy data (sine waves) is available in examples. Compile manually (make or gcc -o tcp_server tcp_server.c -lm) and execute (./examples/tcp_server) to connect the server to port 9999 of the localhost. TCP/IP dummy data communication is activated by selecting option 0 in the Type field.

If getting an error message when executing such as

ImportError: libgnuradio-oscilloscope.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

make sure to

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

in the terminal used to launch GNU Radio before running gnuradio-companion

gr-oscilloscop is used by https://github.com/tlavarenne/gr-ethernet/ for decoding Ethernet frames in real time, assuming a radiofrequency grade oscilloscope with differential probes is available.
