Hi folks,

i'm testing my bob boyce toroidial transformer to achieve the same results as this briljant man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNx6J2uYXHA

unfortunatly i don't have the money for an ossiloscope.

i tried a few freeware software programs like soundcard scope 1.32(witch has a 2 channel pwm build in

) , zelscope and Virtins Sound Card Oscilloscope.

unfortunatly my pc is almost due to retirement and the clockspeed of my microproccessor is not the state of the art.

.......

My question is did anyone ever used this software?
How accurate is it compared to a regular o scope?
Do i really need the fast framerate to opserve peeks like the bedini coils?
Does pc speed has something to do with the refresh rate?
Are there any other software progs that are better, and still cheaper then a ossiloscoop?

cheers

I use this software :

I made my probes from this tutorial :

The software can only sample at a maximum of 44.1 KHz, i don't know if this is increased when you buy a license.

I use it to get RPM and read low voltages, i think it may be too slow to capture what you're after but it's very cheap to try
