FREE DIGITAL STORAGE OSCILLOSCOPE USING LINUX ON YOUR COMPUTER

This might be just the thing for that old laptop sitting around and you wished you had an DSO  to measure that project on your bench or earth battery outside.  Designed to be an audio analyzer, it looks impressive.  Go here:

Looks like a steep learning curve, but hey it's free!

awesome this would be great for the datalogging for the earth battery experimenters.

It says it runs on FreeBSD. I wonder if it will run under the terminal
in Apple OS 10.

How do you relate the MHZ scope figure to the speed of the waveform
that you wish to study?

It sounds like you know more about computers than I do?  In the brief look at it when I found it, somewhere it tells you how to figure the speed.  In might have been in the screenshots help section.  I know that it samples sound at least to 196 K times per second.  Maybe it can go faster?

Look in the FAQ section for answers to compatibility and what sound cards to use.

I would think the highest speed is limited by the soundcard in the computer.  That is the interface for the software.

According to my experience, it is very difficult for sound-card based oscilloscopes to handle measurements of DC voltage or AC signal with DC components. I am sure there are better alternatives available on the internet.
