GENERAL
The PCS500 / PCS100 / K8031 are digital storage oscilloscopes, using a
computer and its monitor to display waveforms. All standard oscilloscope
functions are available in the Windows program supplied. Its operation is just
like a normal oscilloscope with the difference that most operations can be
done using the mouse. The markers for indicating voltage and frequency also
provide considerable ease of use and can be operated without difficulty using
the mouse. Apart from being used as an oscilloscope, the unit can also be
used as a spectrum analyzer and as a transient signal recorder, for recording
voltage variations or for comparing two voltages over a longer period (over
more than a year!). Connection is through the computer's parallel port; the
scopes are completely optically isolated from the computer port. Any waveform
displayed on the screen can be stored for later use in documents or for
comparison of waveforms. Together with the PCG10 function generator, a
powerful Bode plotter can be made. In the PCS500 the oscilloscope and
transient recorder have two completely separated channels.
