Feature Request for UltraScope Software

PostThu Sep 18, 2014 7:42 pm

I see that Ultrascope software is sitting at version 1.6 not having been updated since 2012. One of my customers recently switched from a Omnitek XR to Ultrascope and find the software lacking, specifically he needs to zoom on the Vectorscope deeper than what the software allows. Would it be possible to release a new version with this feature ?

I found one of the BMD product managers at NAB a few years ago and had this very same request about vectorscope zooming (even adding presets, like a 1X position and a 3X position). I kind of got a blank stare in response. My joke to him was, "you know, it'd be great if your $695 Ultrascope could just do everything a $20,000 Tektronix, Leader, or Omnitek hardware scope would do."

Interesting, would be nice to have someone from BM at least what the official word is on Ultrascope updates, even if it costs a fraction of other products it is money our money that was spent on their product and as such we deserve at least to hear back from them.

I'm not very fond of Utrascope either. I prefer to use ScopeBox wich has more option and a modular layout.
I wish Ultrascope was the same. But it is simply too small.

Yeah, Ultra scope could really use an overhaul.

I'm having an issue with the UltraScope software installer. Says it needs and OS newer than 10.6 to install the software. I'm on 10.9. UltraScope really needs some love. Please update!

i think the fact that there is no grid at all (not even a cross for the white/black in the center) says it all!

this is very disappointing! it is unusable in its current state. plz consider updating!!!!
