gds2000tools is a collection of command line tools for using the GW Instek GDS-2000 series of oscilloscopes. Some models supported;

Should also work (not tested) with the GDS-8x0, GDS-1000, Voltcraft-plus DSO-4000 and DSO-8000 series. The heart is a set of bash shell functions effectively turning a bash shell into a shell for communicating with the oscilloscope and for scripting measurements tasks. The tools are:

• gdsh: a set of bash shell functions to create a shell for sending and receiving data to/from the oscilloscope;
• gds-read-bin: a filter for reading binary waveform data and binary screen snapshot data from the oscilloscope and convert the data to ASCII; gdsh uses this filter.

More than 150 oscilloscope commands are modeled as bash functions. On top of these, additional functions are provided for common high-level tasks like obtaining waveform data as images. To download it click here.
