Oscilloscope - The Next Generation

PC based oscilloscopes give you a cost effective and simple to use tool with all the function of a regular oscilloscope plus additional storage, speed and portability. With laptop computers being more powerful than the old IBM 360s, the addition of a USB oscilloscope kit or a parallel port oscilloscope, give you an immense amount of analyzing power in the palm of your hand.

Oscilloscope Software

Interfacing software is generally a part of the package when you purchase the oscilloscope. The software will allow you to zoom in on the desired signal, shows you signals in real time plus the extra storage  capability of the computer, allows you to capture all of your data – digitally – so that later analysis is possible and sharable at any time you chose.

You no longer have to interpret the information by guessing at analog readings. By having the collected data on your computer, you can download massive amounts of your research data to a flash drive. You can see more information on the latest Flash Drives at: External Hard Drive and they will make it possible for you to carry your backup around with you on your keychain.

The expanded capabilities, massive storage and speed plus convenience of being able to carry your test equipment with you in a duffle bag in the back seat of your car or in your computer bag is simply incredible. If you use an oscilloscope, I encourage you to take a serious look at the new USB oscilloscope or, in general, the PC oscilloscope.
