Abstract: The main aim of this project is to develop the PC Based Oscilloscope with the Arduino interfaced with PC or Laptop. In this project we use an Arduino board (Duemilanove) which is used to capture multiple input values and pass them via USB serial port to a PC or Laptop that takes the values, decode it and display them on the screen. In many applications we observe that the certain voltage waveform in a circuit plays a crucial role in understanding the operation of circuit. Several measurement instruments are used like voltmeter, ammeter or the oscilloscope. An oscilloscope (sometimes called scope) is a voltage sensing instrument which is used for displaying, analyzing electrical signals and to visualize certain voltage waveforms. An oscilloscope has a screen to display a signal trace that is offset in the X and Y axis by measurements taken from two different inputs. Now a days PC based measurements have become more affordable and easy to use, thus opening the door for “virtual instrumentation”. This paper describes about developing a PC based oscilloscope. IN this project we use a Arduino which is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible easy to use hardware and software and this environment makes it easy to write code and upload it to the I/O board.
