The PCS500 is a digital storage oscilloscope that uses a computer and
its monitor to display waveforms. All standard oscilloscope functions
are available through the supplied Windows program. Its operation is
identical to that of normal oscilloscope apart from the fact that all
operations can be performed with the mouse.
Connection is through the
computer's parallel port and the scope is completely optically isolated
from the computer port. The oscilloscope and transient recorder have
two completely separated channels with a sampling frequency up to 1GHz.
Any waveform displayed on the screen can be stored for later use in
documents or for the comparison of waveforms.
