Re: Use a scope to determine overvoltage needed for stepper motors

Hi,

Has anyone tried any of the PC Shareware scope programs? I downloaded one or
two a while ago and they looked quite good but I haven't yet plucked up the
courage to make the necessary interface. One of the free programs I remember
was called Winscope which I think is on the Simtel site. Part of its
description file is here which will give an idea of what is available:-

Oscilloscope for Windows v. 2.51

Oscilloscope for Windows uses the sound card as an analog-to-digital
converter, providing complete oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer
functionality in Windows95 environment.

Specifications:
- Dual trace digital storage oscilloscope with spectrum analyzer
- 20 Hz - 20 kHz bandwidth
- 50 ms buffer length
- data export to Windows clipboard or to file (text format)

Features:
- single and dual trace mode
- XY mode (Lissajous patterns)
- point-and-click waveform and spectrum meter functions
- cross-correlation coefficient measurement
- storage tube emulation
- pretrigger view and armed triggering

System requirements:
- 80486 or higher PC running Windows95
- any sound card with drivers installed
- 300 kbytes disk free space during installation, 150 kbytes for
operation

I'd be interested to hear any opinions.
