Oscilloscope function generator software

Arbitrary waves can be previously measured signals, which can be loaded from a file or can be transferred directly from the measuring instrument. These can also be signals created in an external application. To adjust a signal property, click the digits or scroll the mouse wheel when the mouse pointer is over a specific digit. Clicking the upper half of a digit will increase the value of that digit, while clicking the lower half of a digit decreases it.

Digits that are currently off, can be enabled by clicking their upper half. Properties can also be adjusted by clicking the label with the name of the property or pressing the corresponding hotkey. This opens a dialog in which the requested value can be entered.

This dialog accepts prefixes like u, m, k, M, etc. The function generator has a sweep function that allows to perform a linear or logarithmic continuous sweep with the selected signal type sine, triangle or square. Begin and end frequency of the sweep can be set, as well as an optional starting frequency between the begin and end limits. The duration of the sweep is also adjustable.

With the generator mode , the function generator can be set to generate continuous signals, generate in burst mode or generate in gated mode. In continuous mode, the function generator generates the selected signal continuously until stopped.

In burst mode, the generator generates a burst of the selected signal and then automatically stops. The burst length is set to a number of cycles of the selected signal. Each burst start will generate the selected amount of cycles of the selected signal. For arbitrary signals, the pattern buffer can also be divided in segments, allowing to generate segments of the waveform.

Each burst start will generate the next segment of the total pattern. In gated mode, the generator generates a signal based on the presence of an external trigger signal. Various different gated modes are available to control how the generator responds to the external signal. The generator has three trigger output signals which can be used to trigger e. Try whistling and freezing the input. Adjust the timebase to a convenient scale allows you to calculate the frequency of your whistle by counting the period of one complete waveform.

Oscilloscope gain This is a number that the incoming signal is multiplied by. A gain of 1 will have no effect, a gain of less than 1 will make the signal smaller and a gain of more than 1 will make it larger. When the oscilloscope is first loaded, this setting is set at 1ms, and shows one complete waveform over 4 squares. This means that the period of the wave is 4ms, or 0. Horizontal and Vertical Offsets These two sliders allow you to adjust the position of the oscilloscope's trace on the grid.

They are particularly useful for lining up parts of the waveform with the gridlines this can make it easier for you to count the squares when determining wavelength, for example. Svjatoslav Agejenko — August 9, Best functionality for money. Awesome for learning. Cannot wait for similar but upgraded version. For instance it would be great if all features could be used at the same time.

Also it would be awesome to be able to have full LCR tester without external components. More channels and higher analog sampling rate for oscilloscope would be very welcome.

Peter verified owner — September 18, I am a hobbyist and purchased this more for curiosity than I have a burning need for one. I must say I am most pleased with the hardware and the software. From having seen and never used an oscilloscope before, I had the Labrador Board hooked up, and software up on my MacBook Pro, and displaying signals in about 6 hours.

Matt verified owner — October 5, Everything out there was super expensive. Manolis — January 12, This little guy is perfect! I have started learning electronics as a hobby and this is a huge leap in being able to understand, troubleshoot, visualize circuit relevant issues and more.

What a price! The seller is very eager to help! It is perfect for students and hobbyists!! Hampton — September 18, With this, a bench power supply, and a multimeter, you have a solid electronics lab. Charles Knox — January 31, Ideal for the Arduino hobbyist.
