I'm not sure about UltraStation. I installed UltraSigma and UltraScope.
UltraSigma appears to be the "driver" which talks with the scope while
UltraScope is the graphical front end for operating the scope.

Yes. I copied the wrong filename to the email in haste. I installed UltraSigma 0.1.6.1. I agree that it is a driver of sorts. All my comments re r-click apply to it. But my UltraScope, though it connects, won't actually talk with the DS1202 reliably

After every UltraScope action, some of which work (such as Run|Stop), the scope is disconnected. The Virtual Panel simply does not work. Yet UltraSigma seems to always be connected and the SCPI commands work.

Well, if budget permits, I would recommend the Keysight DSAZ594A. This
would be especially useful on some of the higher amateur radio bands.

Funny! 59GHz bandwidth, 160G/sec sample rate. If $512,392 (base model) is in the budget, why not?!?

I could mortgage my house twice over and still not be able to afford that equipment….

Excited about the scope recommendations on this thread, I’ve been looking at all the models mentioned, reading specs, etc., etc. thinking about replacing my old Tektronix 475A - a nice 250MHz dual trace analog scope.

My heart stopped as I read the specs of the DSAZ594A:  
- 59GHz upgradable to 63GHz bandwidth!! (and I was thinking a measly 200MHz ’scope at less than 1% of the bandwidth of this model would be sufficient !!)
- 80 GSa/sec on 4 channels!!
- 33GHz probes
- 15.4 inch display
and the incredible list goes on and on!

But seriously… over a half a MILLION dollars!!@#$%@!!
WOW.  I held my breath for a moment.  One could by well over a THOUSAND nice Rigol or Siglent scopes at this price.

I bet Elecraft doesn’t even have one in their development lab?

Impressive technology all the way down to the custom IC’s designed to process at microwave frequencies.  Interesting reading for those who marvel at leading edge technology.

I had a zoom based oscilloscope demo with our Keysight rep last Wednesday.
They said the $25 k scope I got for our lab at work has the same oscilloscope ASIC chip that the million dollar one has, it's just the bandwidth you are paying for.
