+A driver for Batronix Magnova oscilloscope is available in the codebase.
+It has been developped, with the help of Batronix team, according to official SCPI documentation for Magnova oscilloscope
+(Magnova® SCPI Manual - Version 1.5). This driver has been developed and tested on a Magnova BMO350 running firmware version 1.7.1.
+
+Here are the known limitations of this driver (that should be fixed with further Magnova firmware updates):
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item For now, Magnova's SCPI implementation does not support digital signal acquisition.
+
+\item Selecting specific Arbitrary waveform from function generator is not possible with current Magnova SCPI implementation.
+
+\item Time Scale / Memory Depth / Sample Rate synchronization only work if the scope is in "Extended Capture" mode (Acquire menu).
+
+\end{itemize}

 \section{Digilent}
 
 Digilent oscilloscopes using the WaveForms SDK are all supported using the ``digilent" driver in libscopehal. This
