Universal Software Oscilloscope Library

Universal Software Oscilloscope Library is a oscilliscope software tool with documentation/examples that does not depend on sourse of showed data.

This DLL can be significant and very helpful part of any software application for data acquisition, instrumental tuning, network protocol debugging, observation of programm's variable evaluation.

A viewing oscilloscope is created by this library as a separate window, entirely independent of the program which activated it. This window contains all the elements typical of a control panel of a real oscilloscope. All the control elements are equipped with hints concerning their function. This viewing oscilloscope doesn’t create any additional windows with any secondary controlling elements or indicators.

The library can read any indicated ini file (easily edited text format) containing a description of the initial oscilloscope properties including: all graphics such as colours, type and size of fonts, size of grid cells, display/hide control elements options, window caption text, as well as a description of modes: number of beams, time and amplitude scales and offsets for each beam independently, buffer lengths, modes and levels of triggering, etc.

Viewing oscilloscope can also save all the current settings onto the given ini file, the format of which is described in detail in applied documentation.

Here are some key features of "Universal Software Oscilloscope Library":

�￭ Speedy performance: the library makes it possible to bring out into the beams of the viewing oscilloscope over a million quantization steps of signal per second �" thus less than one micro-second is enough for one discreet.

�￭ Versatility. Convenient integration with any applied software: viewing cilloscope is executed as a DLL exporting only 9 functions, of which 4 are usually enough to work with.

�￭ A good graphic interface: an instance of a viewing oscilloscope created by this library looks like a separate window, entirely independent of the program which activated it.

�￭ Convenient data export-import: data already realised in the oscilloscope beams can easily be transferred to other programs via clipboard (copy - paste) in textual form or via the saved text file.

�￭ Reliable and robust: this library employs only the most basic API functions of MS Windows and reliably works in all versions of 32-bit Windows starting from the first ’95 version.

�￭ Future perspectives: author is ready to consider business propositions concerning creation of specialised versions of this oscilloscope, including unique interface elements and functional changes needed by a prospective customer.
