subject: Pc Based Digital Oscilloscopes Are Hot Sell [print this page] A PC Based Digital Oscilloscope is new type of "oscilloscope" is emerging that consists of a specialized signal acquisition board (which can be an external USB or Parallel port device, or an internal add-on PCI or ISA card). PC Based Digital Oscilloscope that builds on the success of its popular predecessor has been made with many new features which include huge capture buffers, built-in record/replay waveform generator, external trigger input and probe calibration, full electrical isolation and simultaneous waveform capture on all 10 channels (2 analog + 8 logic).
The PC Based Digital Oscilloscope is available now for Windows 7, Vista and XP or Linux (deviant or rpm based distributions or as a tar ball for manual installation). It is compatible with all current and older Scopes and is available as a freely downloadable upgrade. Simply connect a signal and Wave Meter will lock on and display the waveform while simultaneously reporting the frequency, Peak, RMS, Min/Max and DC voltages of the PC Based Digital Oscilloscope. The waveform display is auto-triggered and voltage and time scaling auto-ranging.
There is rarely any need to adjust any parameters of the PC Based Digital Oscilloscope to use it effectively. PC Based Digital Oscilloscope using a computer and its monitor to display waveforms. All standard oscilloscope functions are available in the Windows program supplied. Its operation is just like a normal oscilloscope. Connection of the PC Based Digital Oscilloscope is through the computer's parallel port, the scope is optically isolated from the computer port.
