Elenco PK101 w/ Computer Interface - Manual (Page 2)

Looking at Electronic Signals using the WINSCOPE Software:
Electronics engineers use specialized test equipment to “see” electronic signals and make perform-
ance measurements. They use an oscilloscope to look at the waveform of the signal in time and use
a spectrum analyzer to look at its frequency content. This equipment is specialized and usually very
expensive.
The Winscope software simulates this equipment using your personal computer. The PC-interface
cable can be connected across any 2 points in your circuit to look at the signal.
It is usually connected to the output of a circuit, as in the circuits shown for the CI-22. Connect the
plug end of the probe to the microphone input on the back of your personal computer. Run the
Winscope application (from the CI-22 menu). It will come up in Hold mode looking like this:
Click on the On-Line button to turn it on. You should now get one of the following 2 pictures, depend-
ing on whether your microphone input is properly turned on:

WARNING:
SHOCK HAZARD - NEVER connect
