What is the SoR Scope?
The SoR Scope is a software program designed to convert your microcontroller into a free oscilloscope. Who wants to spend hundreds or thousands on a clunky oscilloscope anyway? No programming necessary.

At the moment it only works for the Axon microcontroller, of which it was designed for and comes will full support.

SoR Scope beta (740kb)
This is the latest install file. It will be updated without notice until v1 is finalized.

source code coming soon!

Axon data dump
This is a text file of data you can use to test out your software if you do not own a microcontroller.



Using the SoR Scope with the Axon
The SoR Scope was designed with the Axon in mind. With the Axon, you effectively have a 16 channel oscilloscope with 8 or 10 bit resolution.

1) connect your sensors to the Axon
2) turn on your Axon
3) plug in the USB cable
4) upload your preferred DAQ .hex program
5) run SoR Scope
6) select port, usually com2
7) click Connect

By default hardware you can only measure 0V to 5V signals. However, by connecting amplifiers or voltage dividers to the Axon ADC, you can measure any voltage you want. Depending on which DAQ .hex file you use, you can measure signals as fast as ~70us. Pefect for looking at servo PWM or anything else you need measured.

Upload your program choice to the Axon. Higher ADC scaling is more accurate, but slower. Measuring fewer channels increases data rate.
~12.2 kbps, 16 channels, 2 ADC scaling
~10.3 kbps, 16 channels, 32 ADC scaling
~7.4 kbps, 16 channels, 128 ADC scaling
~? kbps, 1 channel, 4 ADC scaling

Credits and Questions
The SoR Scope is something I had been dreaming of for years, but it never happened until the user cosminprund offered his time and programming skills. All credit goes to him!
