Earlier this year I received the Multicomp Pro MP720016 as part of my Honorable Mention prize
Winners Announcement of the "Experimenting with Vibration Sensors" Design Challenge
It was great to receive a PC Oscilloscope as it means I have a portable lab bench in my backpack!
To setup, I read through the roadtest reviews to set up my oscilloscope. Unfortunately I found out that the official tool is a Windows-only software.

But not too long ago, I found out that there exists a cross platform app, created by Github user "florentbr". It is based on the Owon VDS1022 which is a compatible family to the Multicomp Pro MP720016.

It is very simple to install on my Ubuntu laptop, which is what I am using for my university work. Just run these commands to clone the github repo and run the install script.
git clone https://github.com/florentbr/OWON-VDS1022
cd OWON-VDS1022
sudo bash install-linux.sh
Launch the app with this icon
And you will get this interface
It also has a Mac version, so I tried it out on another Mac machine
I hope this helps those who are uncertain whether to to buy this.
