Digital Oscilloscope Uses PC Sound Card for Input
Overview
Oscilloscope for Windows is a Windows application that converts your
PC into a powerful dual-trace oscilloscope.
Oscilloscope uses your PC's sound card as an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) to digitize
any input waveform (speech, music, electric signal, etc.) and then presents it
on the monitor in real time, allowing the user to control the display in the same way
as on a conventional "standalone" scope, for example change gain, timebase or
plot Lissajous patterns.
Main features
