New Features & Tools

KNOWN ISSUE
For ADI managed computers running Windows, the first run after every restart of the computer takes longer. This is a known issue and we are working on finding a solution for it.

1. Package Manager

• Complete plugin ecosystem migration: All plugins have been converted to the new package system for improved management
• Plugin management: Browse, install, update, and remove plugins directly from the application
• Comprehensive version management: Access detailed package metadata and seamlessly roll back to stable versions

2. Scripting Tool (Experimental)

• Automation capabilities: Write and execute scripts to automate workflows and instrument control
• Integrated editor: Built-in script editor with syntax highlighting and console output
• Instrument access: Direct control of supported instruments through scripting
• Workflow optimization: Execute complex or repetitive tasks programmatically

3. AD9084 (Apollo) Plugin

• Dedicated Apollo support: Full integration for AD9084 (Apollo MXFE QUAD) devices

4. AD936x Plugin

• PlutoSDR and FMCOMMS support: Dedicated plugin for AD936x devices including PlutoSDR, AD-FMCOMMS2/3/4/5
• Device configuration: Control center frequency, bandwidth, sample rate, and gain
• Advanced mode: Low-level settings access for advanced users and custom driver initialization

5. JESD Status Utility

• Real-time monitoring: Graphical interface for JESD204 link and lane status

6. What's New System

• Automatically presents update information on first install of new versions to showcase latest features
• Integrated update notifications: New "What's New" button in the About page

Enhanced Features

1. Data Logger Improvements

• Multiplot functionality (Experimental): Create and organize multiple plots for comparative analysis
• Flexible signal assignment (Experimental): Move signals between plots and assign channels to specific visualizations
• Custom scale and offset controls: Override default scaling and offset parameters for precise data representation and calibration

2. Debugger Enhancements

• Code Generator: Automatically generate ready-to-use C code snippets for IIO device interaction
• Watchlist integration: Generate code based on selected devices, channels, and attributes

3. ADC Plugin Updates

• FFT Averaging: Moving average support for frequency domain analysis
• fix crash for unsigned channels

4. Docking Widgets

• Added option to undock plot widgets

Experimental Features

Several features in this release are marked as experimental and must be enabled in Scopy Preferences:

• Data Logger Multiplot functionality
• Scripting Tool

These features are actively being developed and may see significant changes in future releases based on user feedback.

Scopy V2.1.0-rc2

Scopy v2.1.0 RC2

Scopy V2.1.0-rc1

Scopy v2.1.0 RC1

Scopy v2.0.0

Scopy v2.0.0 marks the first release of the redesigned Scopy application, introducing a completely new infrastructure and interaction mechanism for any IIO device through generic instruments.
While retaining the core functionality of Scopy v1 - support for ADALM2000 devices - this update significantly expands its capabilities.

ADI Harmonic Design style: Scopy has a new UI styling mechanism and provides three default themes: Scopy, Harmonic dark and Harmonic light.

Multiple device support: connect to multiple devices from the same Scopy session.

Scopy is now structured in plugins which act as intermediaries, allowing users to control and interact with devices in a way that’s intuitive and easy to understand.

• Generic plugins offer basic commands and actions that work across a wide range of devices.
• Device-specific plugins are tailored to a particular device, enabling users to access its unique features and functions.

General IIO plugins

• ADC Plugin - Tool for generic IIO ADC visualization and control
• DAC plugin - Tool for generic IIO DAC control
• Datalogger - Use IIO raw and scale attributes to plot and save data
• Debugger - IIO context explorer tool
• Register Map - Register map of connected device with detailed register table for available XML templates

Application Specific plugins

• ADALM2000 plugin - Implements ADALM2000 instruments - Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer, Voltmeter, Network Analyzer, Signal Generator, Logic Analyzer, Pattern Generator, Digital I/O
• AD-SWIOT1L-SL - Adds functionality specific to AD-SWIOT1L-SL board
• AD-PQMON-SL - Adds functionality specific to AD-PQMON-SL board

Updated documentation is available here: https://analogdevicesinc.github.io/scopy/

Installer Artifacts

Scopy v2.0.0 is available for the following platforms:

• Linux: AppImage and Flatpak packages
• ARM64: AppImage
• ARM32: AppImage
• Windows: Executable installer

• Android: APK - soon available

Edit: Fixed the issue on macOS 15 where Scopy failed to load plugins due to duplicate LC_RPATH.

Scopy v2.0.0-beta-rc2

Scopy v2.0.0-beta-rc2 includes several bug fixes following an initial testing phase after the previous release candidate.

A summary of the test report, along with the verified test cases, can be found in the official documentation.
