DESCRIPTION:

The Understanding Signals Parts and Text kit adds a 144 page student guide and many electronic components to the Parallax USB Oscilloscope for only $10.00 over the price of the scope alone. Learn how to generate, view and measure a variety of wave forms. Each activity includes a BASIC Stamp-controlled example circuit and code, directions for configuring the oscilloscope and placing the probes, and screen-captures of the Parallax USB Software interface displaying the signal. Educational customers may purchase the Understanding Signals Parts and Texts in 10-packs and 20-packs.

A Board of Education with a BASIC Stamp 2 or a HomeWork Board is needed to run the experiments in this kit.

About the Parallax USB Oscilloscope

This small, portable, two-channel digital oscilloscope has a powder-coated aluminum case and three pairs of probes. The hardware connects to your PC with the included USB cable for both data transfer and power, so no external power supply is needed. All oscilloscope controls are managed through a point-and-click PC software interface. 3 easy-to-use cursor functions measure acquired signals, with the option to snap to the waveform. The cursors operate in zoom mode, allowing close viewing and precise measuring of signals. Other classic scope features include variable trigger voltage, external triggering, waveform measurements (min, max, frequency, period), and four FFT function options. The ability to save customized setups and quality bitmap screen captures are standard in the software.
