Abstract:
The aim of this paper making a pc based oscilloscope using arduino. This arduino kit is ineterfaced or connected to the
laptop. We can get the input from the arduino kit. The oscilloscope is a device or an instrument which is used for so many
purpose as like frequency and peak voltage measurement .for measuring the analogue quantity the oscilloscope is used. While
converting the analogue quantity into a digital the sampling and data acquisition process is used .the microcontroller is used for
the programming .it is low cost device and also portable. This system will operate up to5 kHz frequency and it operated on 230
A.C.

Keywords:Arduino kit,CRO,Oscilloscope, Data conversion, low cost CRO.

7. CONCLUSION

Integration
ntegration of virtual instrument technology,
the use of computers as human-machine
machine in
interface,
have greatly improved the instrument's scalability.
Due to small size it is easy to handle and operate,
therefore this system can be used in research
purposes and development. A PC based is a low
cost portable oscillator based on the feature of
communication electronic, computer, and electrical
courses. It is very affordable for the conversion of
analogue signal in the digital forms.
