Oscilloscope Using Raspberry Pi Processor

Abstract: An oscilloscope was previously called an oscillograph. It is also known as a scope, Cathode Ray Tube is a type of electronic test instrument that allows observation of constantly varying signal voltages and frequency. There is a need of a gadget which follows our moves and portable with minimum cost. A gadget that will be easily carried from one place to another and work efficiently as an oscilloscope. A project is design to develop an oscilloscope using PC or laptop. The idea is to monitor the signal and it is implemented by first making signal conditioning on given signal, give it to high sampling rate and high resolution ADC. The ADC will send data to the raspberry pi, high speed processor. This Raspberry will read the data on serial port and by creating GUI and further processing data is displayed on display device.

Keywords: Bit scope micro Model 5, USB interfacing with Raspberry Pi, GUI software in Python.
