Yes, I agree -- but at least it's an option.

I haven't been impressed with their software/documentation. Then again,
that's true for pretty much all of the lab equipment manufacturers: very
expensive precision hardware, el crappo documentation and software. This
particular device is pretty straightforward, though, and perhaps a
motivated individual could even crack one open to see what kind of chip(s)
it uses. (If an opportunity presents itself, I can possibly do this as
well. Maybe.)
