The PC based Soundcard Oscilloscope receives its data from the Soundcard with 44.1kHz and 16 Bit resolution. The data source can be selected in the Windows mixer (Microphone, Line-In or Wave). The frequency range depends on the sound card, but 20-20000Hz should be possible with all modern cards. The low frequency end is limited by the AC coupling of the line-in signal. Be aware, that most microphone inputs are only mono.

The oscilloscope contains in addition a signal generator for 2 channels for sine, square, triangular, sawtooth wave forms and different noise spectra in the frequency range from 0 to 20kHz. The signal can be defined by a mathematical formula as well. The signals are available at the speaker output of the sound card. These can be fed back to the oscillocope in order to generate Lissajous figures in the x-y mode.

The signals for the oscilloscope can be internal to the computer (MP3 player, function generator etc.) or from external sources (line-in, microphone). For external sources care has to be taken, not to exceed the voltage range of the inputs. The range is usually only 0.7V !! If higher voltage need to be analyzed, a voltage divider has to be used. Additional protection diodes are recommended in order to avoid any damage to the sound card and to the computer.

This program will run on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10 (32bit and 64bit) computers with a sound card. It will not install on older versions of Windows. The speed requirements are not very hard. A 1GHz machine is suffient. On slower CPUs the load on the system might lead to reduced responsiveness of the system.

I looked at your code, and it is a great use of property nodes: programmatically changing the properties of an indicator based on what the user specifies. I'm sure you saw how powerful this can be when you were looking through the list of properties for the graph.

The difference between PC-based USB oscilloscopes (referred to as a USB oscilloscope) and stand-alone oscilloscopes is that a USB oscilloscope does not have buttons or a screen and is connected to a computer through a USB. The device is then controlled by the computer, and results are displayed on the computer screen. The following picture is an illustration of a USB oscilloscope in use:

Compared with stand-alone oscilloscope, PC-Based USB Oscilloscopes have the following advantages:

1. Small size, easy to carry.

2. PC screen is larger so the waveforms can be seen more clearly.

3. No screen component so the price is lower.

4. PC interface makes it easy to process and edit files.

5. Users can design their own programs to control the oscilloscope.

Many USB oscilloscope software use a conventional window design because it is the easiest to design. However, such a design does not comply with the actual use of oscilloscopes and causes difficulties and inconvenience for users.

In the overview function, the top of the screen shows the entire waveform and the magnified portion of the waveform is shown below that. The grey area can be dragged at the top or the scroll bar at the bottom can be used to change the section displayed.

The equivalent sampling function: for periodic signals, this function analyzes signals and graphs them at a sample rate of 4 GS/s. It increases the sampling resolution and provides the user with more details.

The logic analyzer mode can decode bus data and save development time. This Mode can decode common protocol such as: I2C, UART, I2S, PS2, CAN Bus, 1-Wire, S/PDIF, Lin Bus, Microwire, Miller, Manchester, SM Bus, and Modbus. Will continue to be added and free update.

Perytech USB Oscilloscope comprises a black aluminum alloy case with an excellent texture. The alloy case receives hair-line surface treatment to ensure the exterior is very trendy. The exterior is very trendy, with great texture. The device is small, light, and convenient to carry.

*The hardware trigger is an important part of an oscilloscope. Some low-priced oscilloscopes do not include this feature because it increases the cost, however, absence of this feature leads to numerous problems. Please view the following video to understand the importance of hardware triggers:

To simplify setting up the measurements, the Multi Channel oscilloscope software contains a large number of Quick Setups, for almost any application. A Quick Setup contains the basic settings for a specific measurement as well as additional information regarding the selected Quick Setup, like e.g. how the instrument and/or accessories need to be connected. Quick Setups can also contain reference signals. After loading the Quick Setup, that specific measurement can be performed and if needed, small adjustments to the setup can be made.

Remote measuring with a Handyscope series oscilloscope with an ethernet connection (LAN, WiFi or WAN) is so transparent that it appears that the ethernet connected instrument is connected directly to the PC. The Multi Channel oscilloscope software supports ethernet connected instruments by default. All software and hardware features of the oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, data logger and voltmeter remain available via the network. Specific network knowledge is not required. The dialog with available instruments shows the network instruments. Simply place a tick and measuring can start.

The oscilloscope in the Multi Channel oscilloscope software can have one or more large, fully configurable graphs, where each graph can display different parts of a signal. Measured signals can be copied to reference channels, to compare live signals with earlier measured signals.

Cursors are available in the oscilloscope to make on screen measurements, as well as a t=0 line to indicate the trigger moment. Signals can be given descriptive names and a legend is available to simplify identifying the displayed signals. Text labels can be placed to mark interesting parts of the signal(s).

When two or four measurement channels are not sufficient, the Handyscope and WiFiScope series of instruments offer the possibility to combine and synchronize multiple oscilloscopes to one single oscilloscope with many input channels. Just a coupling cable is required to combine the multiple instruments to a single combined instrument with many channels.

The Multi Channel oscilloscope software combines the individual instruments automatically to a large combined oscilloscope with many input channels which are sampled fully synchronized and can be controlled in one application. You get one oscilloscope.

The Multi Channel oscilloscope software offers a large variety of mathematical operations like adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, integrating, differentiating, determining the square root, determining the logarithm, etc. These mathematical operations are available in the form of I/Os, also called processing blocks, and can be used to process the measured signals and reference signals.

Combining these mathematical processing blocks gives unrivaled possibilities in constructing complex mathematical operations to analyze your measurements thoroughly and obtain all the information you need from your data. The results of the mathematical operations can be displayed in one or more graphs, can be displayed in numeric displays, in tables and can be written to disk in various common file formats.
