Summary
does all i have asked of it
Visually pleasing but not particularly useful

Pros
Cons
There seems to be some sort of registration required but no way to do it. There is no documentation on how to use it. The web link is not accessible for questions. Why is this here?
Summary
Better than Winscope
egillmanJuly 6, 2005
Pros
I have only used the o-scope function, but the display looks more like a "real" o-scope than other programs I have used (like Winscope). Also, the display is more stable - probably due to better triggering.
Cons
Like all PC-based o-scope programs, it can NOT measure DC voltages due to the capasitor inline with the microphone input on the sound card. Also, it "clips" voltages larger than a few volts.
