Using the inputs on a computer’s sound card is an old trick to fake a very simplistic, AC coupled, slow oscilloscope. You can get DC operation by desoldering a couple capacitors, but if the ...

anyone know how I can cheaply convert my PC to an oscilloscope to analyze audio signals (AKA doesn't need to be super-high sample rate)? I've used LabView in school before, but it's damn expensive ...

If you’ve ever used an old-school analog oscilloscope (an experience everyone should have!) you probably noticed that the trace is simply drawn by a beam that scans across the CRT at a constant ...

This Design Idea explores the potential of using PC audio codecs, software oscilloscopes, and spreadsheet math along with simple and cheap DIY motion transducers to implement high-performance ...

An oscilloscope makes the invisible world of electricity visible, letting you observe electrical signals on a video display in real-time. For $25, the Flea-Scope plugs into any computer via USB ...

Low-cost oscilloscope Many traditional low-cost DIY type digital oscilloscopes have two major technical drawbacks, namely inadequate anti-aliasing capability and large ADC noises. As a result, these ...

The company has introduced a bundle that pairs its new NTS-2 do-it-yourself oscilloscope kit with a Patch & Tweak with Korg book from Bjooks (which also made books for Moog and Roland) that ...

Got an Arduino board laying around? Make your own oscilloscope in only four steps. It might be the geekiest DIY project ever.

PC instrumentation firm Pico Technology has developed a 12-bit module that turns a PC into a 100Msample/s oscilloscope or a 50MHz spectrum analyser. Using a 12-bit A/D converter gives the ADC212/100 a ...

Blanche’s workshop in detail Photograph by Fran Blanche 1) Tektronix 564B oscilloscope. Blanche owns two, and they help her examine DC- and audio-frequency signals. **2) Articulated dental-exam ...
