⁠⚡ MSO5000 Liveview — Real-Time Power Analyzer for RIGOL Oscilloscopes

⁠🔍 What is it?

MSO5000 Liveview is a full-featured, GUI-based application for real-time waveform monitoring, power analysis, and data logging on RIGOL MSO5000-series oscilloscopes — especially useful for researchers, engineers, and mad scientists.

Built by and for people who bend electricity to their will ⚡

⁠✅ Features

• 🧠 Live calculation of P, S, Q, PF, Vrms, Irms
• 📊 Dynamic PQ heatmap visualization (quadrant-style)
• 🔎 Fully SCPI-controlled waveform acquisition
• 🧪 Long-term CSV logging mode with pause/resume
• 🖥️ Tkinter GUI support over Docker/X11
• 🧰 Built-in support for shunt resistors and current clamps
• 📦 Available as a local app or a portable Docker container

⁠🚀 Run with GUI (X11 support):

xhost +local:docker

docker run -it --rm \
  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
  aridev1/mso5000_liveview:latest

xhost -local:docker

🧩 GUI starts automatically. If not, it tells you exactly why — no guesswork.

⁠📂 Volumes (optional)

Mount your oszi_csv/ folder to persist logs outside container:

-v /home/user/oszi_data:/app/oszi_csv

⁠📡 Requirements

• A RIGOL MSO5000 scope connected via LAN
• X11 GUI support (XWayland and remote desktop OK)
• Python or Docker — your choice

⁠💬 Why use this?

Because you want:

• Transparent and defensible power measurements
• Full control over waveform capture and probe scaling
• A live view into what your oscilloscope is really doing
• A way to scream "get rekt" at overpriced black-box analyzers
