**The open-source toolkit for reverse engineering ANY system from captured waveforms—analog or digital, simple or complex**

TraceKit provides comprehensive signal analysis across analog and digital domains. Analyze audio amplifiers (THD, SNR), power supplies (ripple, efficiency), RF baseband, sensors, control systems, logic circuits, IoT protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN + 16 more), and mixed-signal systems. Features include IEEE-compliant measurements (181, 1241, 1459, 2414), spectral analysis (FFT, PSD, wavelets), power analysis (AC/DC, efficiency), protocol decoding and reverse engineering (state machine inference, CRC recovery), and compliance validation (EMC, power quality).

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Using pip
pip install tracekit

# From source
git clone https://github.com/lair-click-bats/tracekit.git
cd tracekit
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

### 30-Second Example

```python
import tracekit as tk

# Load waveform (auto-detects format)
trace = tk.load("capture.wfm")

# Make measurements
print(f"Rise time: {tk.rise_time(trace):.2e} s")
print(f"Frequency: {tk.frequency(trace):.2f} Hz")

# Decode protocol
uart = tk.decode_uart(trace, baudrate=115200)
for frame in uart:
    print(f"UART: {frame.data.hex()}")
```
