Today's Digital Storage Oscilloscopes are now PC friendly. Sometimes referred to as PC Based Oscilloscopes, these new technological wonders allow you to use your Laptop or Desktop Computer to display their readouts. Even with the increase in sampling rates and storage capabilities the appeal for these types of Oscilloscopes is continuing to grow at a rapid rate.

Some of these PC Based Oscilloscopes offer the standard Oscilloscope functions through single or dual channels. Some of these PC Oscilloscopes have the capability to read frequencies as high as 200 MHz making them a valuable piece of test equipment for any Electronic Technicians workbench.

Just like an ordinary bench top Oscilloscope, these PC Based Oscilloscopes can read frequencies, voltages, currents and more. Best of all these readings can be viewed on your computer screen. These readings can be stored in your computers memory for later viewing or comparisons. Best of all these PC Oscilloscopes are extremely portable, and weigh no more than a few pounds, making them a great tool for any Electronic Technician who works outside of a traditional repair shop.

Most of these PC Based Oscilloscopes operate from Windows based software that is usually supplied with the Oscilloscope. A connection is made through the computers parallel port with an input impedance of around 1M ohm.

Today a large percentage of Electronic Technicians are using this new Technological breakthrough of PC Oscilloscopes. Portability, data easily moved and stored on almost any PC or desk top computer, better resolution with today's LCD screens and more processing power. Most of these new PC Based Oscilloscopes offer automatic storage of data, automatic recording of data for more than 1 year, markers for time and amplitude, zoom functions, a spectrum analyzer. PC Oscilloscopes open a whole new world to today's Electronic Technicians that just wasn't available even a few years ago.
