Scopie

Version 3.0.0-alpha · in Tinkerie 1.5.2-alphaAlpha

Turn your PC into the screen of an oscilloscope.

In plain words

An oscilloscope draws a voltage as a line moving over time, so you can see signals: a PWM output, a serial message, a noisy power supply. Scopie gives your scope a big, clear screen on your PC, and every button explains itself. No scope yet? Demo mode has 13 practice signals.

You'll need: A USB or bench oscilloscope, or try Demo mode.

Scopie
Demo mode: a square wave and a sine wave, with automatic measurements.
Your first five minutes

Try this first

  1. Start Demo mode

    No scope needed: pick a practice signal like the probe calibration square.

  2. Press Auto setup

    Scopie picks the volts and time per division so the signal fits the screen.

  3. Drag the trigger line

    The trigger holds the wave still. Drag the line to where the wave crosses.

  4. Read the measurements

    Frequency, peak-to-peak, RMS and more appear under the screen. Press F1 for the beginner's guide.

Before you start

Good to know

On USB and bench scopes the probe's ground clip is connected to your computer's ground. Never connect it to mains, or anything plugged into mains, without proper isolation.

USB scopes work on Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi. On a Mac, Scopie works with network bench scopes, CSV files and Demo mode.
