Adjust the position to center the waveform in your graticule and the Gain to suit your taste. Make sure XY is not checked and CH1 ‘Trace’ is checked.

The ‘Waveform Generator’ should be set to sine, about 500Hz. If no USB ports show up reboot the Raspberry Pi and start over. If you do not see a sine wave click on the ‘Options’ tab and make sure you are connected. Using a jumper wire connect the AWG to CH1.

First we will need a signal to display.Ĭonnect Arbitrary Wave Generator to Chanel 1 Input We will go step-by step to make sure they are correct. When you open the oscilloscope interface it will likely have the last user’s settings. Open the Xscope application on the Pi’s desktop. Make sure the USB on the Xprotolab is plugged into the Raspberry Pi. The verticle amplifier is calibrated in volts per division and the horizontal amplifier in time (seconds) per division. Oscilloscopes are used to troubleshoot a wide range of signals from audio (20 to 20000 Hz) to video (6MHz), digital (Hz to GHz) and radio frequency 10MHz to GHz). Voltage is displayed vertically while frequency (or period) is displayed horizontally. The time might be very brief (on the order of nanoseconds) up to a second. However, you can still measure frequencies up to almost 1MHz. For digital signals, you can measure up to 16MHz.)Īn oscilloscope provides a graphical representation of a waveform over time. Its features:ĭual channel Oscilloscope (The analog bandwidth is set at 200kHz. This kit contains a truly remarkable instrument that this author has seen in no other Arduino/Raspberry Pi/Breadboard kit: A fully functional oscilloscope! Gabotronics makes a range of low-cost scopes the one we are using is under $20 USD.
