Oscilloscope for Windows version 2.51 (Oscilloscope 2.51) is an application showing how home PC peripherials, such as a sound card, can be used in an unconventional way, emulating industrial ADC hardware. The Oscilloscope provides a complete functionality of a "standalone" scope in a familiar Windows ennvironment.The Oscilloscope allows you, for example:
- to study in real time any signal envelope,
- to measure frequencies
- to study realtime signal spectra,
- to plot Lissajous patterns.
- to measure a cross-correlation coefficient of two signals
(In general, to do most things you can do with an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer).
Not surprisingly, the Oscilloscope has several drawbacks too:
- non-calibrated amplitude level (hard to use as digital multimeter),
- relatively low bandwidth (20 Hz - 20 kHz),
- possibility of damage of a PC when connecting to an unknown signal source. (See Precautions ).
Specifications:
Dual trace digital storage oscilloscope with realtime spectrum analyzer and correlometer.
Buffer length: 52 ms
Bandwidth: 20 Hz - 20 kHz max
Input level: about 2 VAC, limited by sound card capabilities
Display refresh: ca. 6 fps
Data export: disk file or Windows clipboard, text format
