USB Scope and wine

RS_Jim · 2013-06-26 20:39

My XP based tower bit the dust amid a boot sequence this week. What I have left to work with is a laptop running vista. Do I have any chance of getting my USB scope running on the laptop?

The USB Scope works fine on my desktop running Vista. Soldier on, RS_Jim!

Thanks Erco, Now I just have to go find that software file and download it!

Got it, thanks, Erco, now to build a probe that will allow me to measure the 60 volts pwm signal on my salt water pool.

Nothing like reopening a really old thread! The link is broken and I need to get the software and see if I can make it run under my Linux Mint OS.

I finely got my scope installed under wine on my Linux machine. I have the scope displayed now I have to open the manual and remember how to run it!

Ok, I have the scope display from the ZIP file, but it is missing the vertical control knobs. The image terminates at the bottom of the scope screen an does not show any control knobs beyond that. the PDF images show both channel 1 and channel 2 control knobs for setting the input voltage range. The display acts like it needs a vertical value before it will display a waveform. Any one have any thoughts?
