Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Pesonally, I've always liked the idea of using a soundcard as a very basic, though limited scope. You don't always need a high end scope and using a soundcard saves some $$$. Plus just about every PC

Re: Question around sound card curve tracer for William Kroyer
Yeah I figure with the soundcard o-scope software I could probably get some somewhat decent readings but really that's not my goal. I'm more or less just looking to use mine for reference. ie spotting

Re: Scope Probes - what is in them?
The characteristic impedance does not change (much) with frequency, not at all with ideal coax. ;-) If you have an infinitely long piece of coax and connect your ohmmeter you will read 50ohms (or

Re: Scope Probes - what is in them?
I concur. "Real" probes use lossy coax so as to reduce reflections; and the 10: divider at the probe tip has a resistor from center conductor to braid, and a resistor in parallel to an adjustable

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Okay, I know you guys are probably wetting your pants laughing at me because I am so excited about a VERY CRUDE scope, but it is impressing me more and more. I wanted to check the actual ON time of a

Well, it's not like you are unaware of the effects mains voltage has inside computers. ST

Hi all, We are having problems with our ISP while setting up a wireless network, so I am terribly sorry if you get delayed mail, etc. I will post once in a while because i would be using someone

Re: Scope Probes - what is in them?
Gotcha, My probes have the switch for 1:1 and 10:1. So, I could use the little circuit board I made up and just add a BNC connector to it along with an enclosure box and I should be in good shape. For

Re: Scope Probes - what is in them?
Most likely you have either 1:1 probes, which are a straight through cable, or 10:1 probes, which have a frequency compensated divider inside. With the probably low input impedance of the soundcard

Scope Probes - what is in them?
Strange question - I know :-( Let me explain. I will have to tinker with this soundcard "Scope" for a while till I can afford something better. Right now I am using a couple of wires - 8 diodes - 2

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Steve, it appears to be freeware as it doesn't seem to have any indications of registration etc. I dunno to be honest - it was free to download - it didn't require registration - and I do beleive is

Re: Question around sound card curve tracer for William Kroyer
Hi I had made a circuit some time back for curve tracer, but it fed into a scope. The circuit was also verified by the group. The problem is that though I would get the look of the curve the values in

Gain Vs. Frequency meter - Where would I start?
Hey guys, I've been reading the latest posts about various scopes and the pro's and con's of each and that got me thinking about a (hopefully) small project of a gain vs. frequency meter. The device

Re: Question around sound card curve tracer for William Kroyer
There was some discussion on curve tracers in here a while back. I forget which kind were being talked about. There are basically two kinds... One is the sort that will display useful curves for

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Not the caps, though. I had one die on me here a while back, and there really wasn't all that much to it -- the chip itself and maybe a couple of buffers and such, and the rest of what was on that

Is the old version freeware now, or still shareware? Has anyone tried modifying a sound card to take DC input? Steve Greenfield PS please don't forget to trim <lcdpublishing@...> wrote:
