If you can live with the limitations of PC soudncard performance
(limited to audio frequencies, limited absolute measuring accuracy etc.)
then you cna check the software links at
http://www.epanorama.net/links/pc/sound.html#software
For example Oscilloscope for Windows
(http://polly.phys.msu.su/~zeld/oscill.html)
has a quite good feature set. It is free for personal use.

If you have an older system that can run real-mode DOS
(Win9x or earlier), and you have an ISA-bus Sound Blaster
or ESS card, you might want to have a look at my Daqarta
package. You can even build your own "card" from a
handful of resistors hung on the printer port, if you don't
have one of the above cards. It will be only 8 bits, same as
many digitial scopes, but unlike the sound cards will go
down to DC. See the LPTX driver info on the site.
The Windows version of Daqarta is in the works.

Yes. Don't waste your time and money.
If you're serious about getting accurate measurements, and making
an investment in a piece of test gear that will serve you quite well in
times to come, poke around for a Tektronix 7000 series mainframe and
some plug-ins. For audio and low-RF work, I would suggest the Tek 7603,
the 7B53A timebase, and the 7A26 dual-channel vertical plug-in.
Altogether, I'd be surprised if the lot ran you over $100. Good
sources for such include ham radio swap meets, surplus test equipment
dealers, and Ebay.
Good hunting.

If you wish to construct the PC-based oscilloscope by yourself, please
take a look at www.bitscope.com. |
