for a download that can process data from your sound card or an ADC (analog-digital converter) and display it.

This thread might be a good repository of tools.

I am  going to  start  building a few coils  and see what I can learn from them .

I  was wondering   if   a hall effect  chip  could be  used  as   a probe  with these   PC ocilloscope  programs. 

I want to  be able map the magnetic flix to some degree.   That is  why  I  started looking into hall  effect chips.   

It seems  to me   that   if  placed in contact  with an inductor it should  work  almost  like a regular  scope  conection. 

If course the waveforms will be relative .......no  actual  voltage measurement   would be  possable .  ......

I  can't  quite  bring myself  to  connecting  live   projects  directly to my PC . .....  If I am right about the hall  effect chip  I can   use the  O scope   program and  have  almost no chance  of    Spikes  or  something   frying  my computer .
