Pocket PC-based virtual instrument
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 2/1/2006
Virtins Pocket Instrument modular software uses the sound chip in a Pocket PC to turn your handheld computer into a real-time oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, and signal generator. The oscilloscope module offers a selectable sampling frequency of up to 96 kHz, sampling bit resolution of 8 or 16 bits, and one or two channels. The spectrum analyzer module lets you view amplitude spectrum and phase spectrum, while the signal generator supports multitone generation where you can combine up to 32 tones in each channel. It also provides arbitrary waveform generation through a user-defined waveform library. The software bundle costs $49.95. Modules can also be purchased separately.
