I am looking for a free oscilloscope program for the PC to run under
Windows XP. Does anyone have any preferences ? It needs to be
quasi-real....not just a toy, but it can be very simple. I have no
need for spectrum analysis and single trace would suffice, but I do
need a calibrated timebase, for example. So far what I have found does
not meet my needs (time axis won't run slow enough, uncalibrated
timebase, doesn't quite work properly on my computer....etc.).

What is bandwidth required? There is good 'winscope' available free
for
frequencies upto 20Khz.

LOL what? An oscilloscope is hardware, what are you gonna do with
software without hardware somewhere? What are you gonna scope with this
program????
I mean you can download a free logic analyzer program, but without the
hardware what's the use?
Here's a free software that lets you control an oscilloscope...

So it's free, and then what??

Bandwidth required is whatever the sound card can provide....so 20 kHz
is fine. But the WINSCOPE I have found (by Konstantin Zeldovich) is
limited to a 50ms scan time. I want to measure time differences of up
to at least 100ms so this is not adequate.

But thanks for your suggestion.

Sound card !

> I mean you can download a free logic analyzer program

That could be useful in some circumstances....any suggestions as to
good ones (that don't use serial ports as it has to run on a modern
notebook) ?
