ADC-100 PC-Based Oscilloscope

oscilloscope software

The ADC-100 is a dual-channel PC-based oscilloscope, spectrum analyser and multimeter. It connects to the parallel port using the supplied cable and requires no power supply. This makes it very useful as a general purpose test instrument both out in the field and in the lab.

As well as its uses as a general purpose instrument, the 100 kS/s (100,000 samples per second) sampling rate and 12-bit resolution make the ADC-100 an ideal oscilloscope for audio work, since its spectrum analyser covers the audible frequency range. Another common use is in automotive electronics, checking for problems with ABS sensors, fuel injection and LT ignition. For a higher speed version, also consider the ADC-212 high resolution oscilloscope.
