PIC Based PC Oscilloscope Using .Net

A PIC microcontroller was used to produce a virtual oscilloscope known as .Net oscilloscope where the heart of the project is the GP-3 PC I/O Board PIC Microcontroller circuit.

The most probable important instrument for observing and measuring electronic circuits is the oscilloscope. This device allows the digital and analog signals to be read and feed the results to the PC via the serial port. PWM signals can also be created along with the tones, high/low signals, pulses, and counters with GP-3 circuit and be controlled by a PC.

The .Net scope is a simple storage scope that allows both time and voltage to be scaled. On the side of the scope are two knobs that allow the horizontal and vertical position of the signal to be translated. There are two modes in the oscilloscope which can be classified as continuous or storage. By hitting the Store Button, a particular trace can be stored and its position can be adjusted after a trace is stored then scale all the available knobs and controls. The hitting the Store Button again, the scope can return to continuous mode. The controls scale and translate the coordinate positions.
