RTR/!Scope/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Scope V3.0 Copyright Mike Cook - Musbury Consultants all rights reserved Tel. 01706 216701 5 Helmshore Rd, Haslingden, Rossendale, Lancs. BB4 4BG Realtime analogue oscilloscope This requires the hardware described in the July 98 issue of Acorn User. X Scale The first 4 buttons set the application to read in 344 samples at a time. Sucessive buttons after this double the number of samples taken per sweep. These are:- 688, 1376 and 2752. Note at these higher sample rates the multitasking can be a bit slugish. You can always use the X shift slider to examin the whole 2752 sample buffer, however, if you have not read in this much the rest of the buffer may be meaningless. The whole buffer may be reset using the "wipe" button. To measure the time between two points on a waveform:- 1) Click adjust on the first point, a line will be drawn, this is the refrance point. 2) Click select on the second point, the time between these points will be measured. 3) Repeted select clicks will show the distance in time. 4) A second adjust click will remove the refrance point.
