* '''Broad hardware support'''. Supports [[Supported hardware|many different devices]] (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, data loggers etc.) from various vendors.
* '''Cross-platform'''. Works on [[Linux]], [[Mac OS X]], [[Windows]], [[FreeBSD]], [[OpenBSD]], [[NetBSD]], [[Android]] (and on x86, ARM, Sparc, PowerPC, ...).
* '''Scriptable protocol decoding'''. Extendable with stackable [[protocol decoders]] written in Python 3.
* '''File format support'''. Supports various [[Input output formats|input/output file formats]] (binary, ASCII, hex, CSV, gnuplot, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_change_dump VCD], WAV, ...).
* '''Reusable libraries'''. Consists of the [[libsigrok]] and [[libsigrokdecode]] shared libraries which can be used by various frontends/GUIs.
* '''Various frontends'''. [[PulseView]] (LA GUI), [[sigrok-meter]] (DMM GUI), [[sigrok-cli]] (command-line), and other frontends all build upon the above libraries.

The sigrok project aims at creating a portable, cross-platform, Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software suite that supports various device types (e.g. logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and many more).

It is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL, version 3 or later. Design goals and features include:

You can use sigrok to...

  • ...log data from your multimeter
  • ...have a $10 logic analyzer for examining logic circuits
  • ...have a remote GUI for your oscilloscope
  • ...perform measurements on signals
  • ...make sense of digital signals with protocol decoders
  • ...write custom protocol decoders in python
  • ...remote-control your power supply
  • ...remote-control whatever lab device you'd like to support
  • ...write a quick-n-dirty automation tool for your particular needs
  • ...have a framework/frontend for your home-made devices
