| + | The [[Analog Thing]] is a pure analog device, there is no microcontroller or other advanced digital logic involved. Nevertheless, there are interesting cases when to combine the [[Analog Thing]] with software. |
− | == Softscopes ==
| |
− | What follows is a curated list of '''Software oscilloscopes'''. The idea is always that you can connect your [[Analog Thing]]
| |
− | to your [[Soundcard]] input with a simple Chinch-to-jack adapter, such as depicted in the right. This allows to connect to
| |
− | the 3,5mm phone connector (''Klinke'') which is still present in many Notebooks, Tablets, Smartphones, also for many
| |
− | system-on-chips such as the [[Raspberry Pi]]. If your system does no more have such an input, there may be cheap adapters to USB
| |
− | (they are usually called ''USB soundcard'').
| |
| | | |
− | Note that a single chinch socket has to pins: One for ground, one for the signal. This puts it on equal footing with a BNC
| + | == Applications for making use of The Analog Thing == |
− | connector or a ''mono'' phone connector. The adapter shown on the right joins two outputs together to a ''stereo'' sound signal.

− | Xoscope is an advanced software oscilloscope for the Linux desktop, suitable for both
