Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes, I got interested in this topic afte=
r
having read the blog posts you mentioned above and I contacted Volker.

It would be really great to perform the analysis and the visualization of =
the
data collected in these measurements directly in LabPlot. I started lookin=
g
already into some use-cases in this area and trying to implement the scena=
rios
in LabPlot. We'll be happy to implement features, if still missing and
feasible for us, that would be required for this project.

Joining the next sprint sounds like a great idea. Please invite me next ti=
me.

Alexander
