Is the software Open Source. If not then when this company loses interest in this model scope and stops maintaining the software the scope is dead and headed to a land fill.
This is basically a software 'scope and only as good as the software. Can the software be modified and will it run on the next computer I happen to own (whatever that might be)?

ChrisAlbertsonHardware scope with a software GUI... Otherwise they could not hit price points (due to component costs). 3 Iterations of hardware - VDS1XXX, VDS2XXX, VDS3XXX... I found nothing about the software - not to say it is not there...

ChrisAlbertsonIf you care about open source, I would wholeheartedly recommend Miniware's mini oscilloscopes. Open source both hardware and software. Even though original software was commented in Chinese, community support behind these is excellent. This company also makes TS100, TS80 soldering irons as well as ES121 electric screwdrivers which are all awesome. Here's a review of DS212 mini oscilloscope by this company. They are at the same MSRP as this one, but in my opinion much more valuable as you get community extended features. That said, Owon scope has 25MHz while Miniware is 1MHz. So it really depends on your requirements.
