Switched from HantekDSO to OpenHantek for the Voltcraft model 2090 DSO.
The OpenHantek GUI adds a bit more flexibility, e.g. export to PDF, PS, JPG or CSV data.
A year after my introduction into music with the descant recorder, I now mastered the treble recorder well enough to play the accompaniment part of Henry Purcell’s Short Duets. The booklet contains brilliant pieces for the late beginner flute player.
