+
+A Rust-based cross-platform UI for controlling and acquiring data from a Rohde & Schwarz RTM3004 oscilloscope.
+
+## Features
+- **Ethernet Connectivity**: Connect via Raw TCP (Port 5025).
+- **Fast Segmentation**: High-speed internal acquisition with bulk binary download.
+- **Real-time Visualization**: Downsampled plots using `egui_plot`.
+- **Disk Streaming**: Save full-resolution data to Apache Parquet files for easy analysis in Python/Pandas.
+- **Cross-platform**: Works on Windows and Linux.
+
+## Tech Stack
+- **UI**: [egui](https://github.com/emilk/egui) / [eframe](https://github.com/emilk/egui/tree/master/crates/eframe)
+- **Plotting**: [egui_plot](https://github.com/emilk/egui_plot)
+- **Data Storage**: [Parquet](https://crates.io/crates/parquet)
+- **Communication**: SCPI over TCP
+
+## Usage
+1. Connect the RTM3004 to your network via Ethernet.
+2. Ensure the scope has an IP address (check under Setup -> Network).
+3. Run the application:
+   ```bash
+   cargo run --release
+   ```
+4. Enter the IP address and click **Connect**.
+5. Configure your segments and click **Start Acquisition**.

+## Dependencies
+Linux users may need the following libraries:
+- `libxcb`
+- `libxkbcommon`
+- `libwayland` (if using Wayland)
+- `libfontconfig`
