pc osciloscope

The Soundcard Oscilloscope is useful electronics software for student and electronics hobbyist. Like visual analyzer, the software use PC Soundcard as main hardware. The software receives its data from the Soundcard with 44.1kHz and 16 Bit resolution.

Resistor Combination Calculator

June 09, 2010 By: admin Category: Software, Tools No Comments →

To get non-standard resistor value we can use parallel or series resistor combination. You can do quick calculation for R series but, sometimes, it’s hard to get good resistance combination in parallel resistor to get R value that we need. Thanks to Claudio Girardi who has built Resistor Series-Parallel Calculator. It will help you find [...]

PC Sound Card Scope

Besides voltmeter, sometimes we need oscilloscope to analyze signal from our electronic project. Unfortunately, the price for good digital Oscilloscope is expensive. For student and electronics hobbyist there are good solution for this. You can try Free PC based Oscilloscope like Visual Analyser. The software can be used to analyze waveform with range frequency 20-20khz. [...]
