The ADALM2000 enables engineers or developers to create their own virtual electronics laboratory depending on their specific needs. Via the libm2k library, users can develop software applications for controlling the ADALM2000 using C++, C#, or Python. More detailed discussions about the ADALM2000 and libm2k will follow in later sections. What Is an Oscilloscope? X-position: Use this knob to displace the waveform horizontally to the left or the right. This is useful in measurement. Oscilloscopes are an essential part of electronics engineering due to the value they bring to signal analysis of common and complex circuits. In addition to that, oscilloscopes nowadays feature computer connectivity so that the signal captured in the oscilloscope can be digitally stored for later analysis. Producing more complex plots can be done by adding large numbers of sinusoids together. While it should be possible to recreate these by creating large numbers of corresponding oscillator nodes, the author has for the following cases decided to create an empty buffer and programatically calculate the required samples over a single period. This Oscilloscope software receives its data from Soundcards with 44.1kHz and 16 Bit resolution. Sound card oscilloscope has lots of features specifically being a signal generator and having other tools.

Users can also change the spectra plot parameters to view and analyze real-time signal spectra carefully. The channel amplitude for both channels can be set separately or both channels can be synced for common channel amplitude. The instrumentation industry is moving steadily and rapidly toward virtualization. Software-based instruments are hosted on a PC that uses as minimal specialized hardware as possible to link it to the devices it must measure/control. This hardware typically includes plug-in boards for digitizing a signal directly or for controlling standalone instruments. Sweep button: this is used to turn ON/OFF the sweeping. If the sweep is OFF, the screen will display a luminous dot. Otherwise, it will display a curve. In many ways, this demo is similar to the Virtual Oscilloscope demo, but there is a crucial and very important difference. In the oscilloscope demo, the plot shows the displacement of an audio signal versus the time, which is called the time-domain signal. This demo shows the signal represented in a different way: the frequency domain. The frequency spectrum is generated by applying a Fourier transform to the time-domain signal.

It is a software-driven simulation or emulation of a conventional hardware oscilloscope. We use oscilloscopes as test and measurement instruments to visualize and analyze electrical signals over time. The ADALM2000 is an active learning module that features a digital oscilloscope, function generator, logic analyzer, voltmeter, spectrum, and digital bus analyzer, along with two programmable power supplies. For basic users or students, Scopy can be used to interface with the ADALM2000. For application developers, an application interface can be developed using the libm2k library. There is also an option for firmware developers to develop a custom software or HDL that can run directly on the ADALM2000. Get Started Installation of Python and PyCharm

Figure 2. Libm2k installation window.• Finish the installation. Libm2k will be installed in the default environment You can also move up and down trigger level (a marker on the right), trigger time position (a marker on the top) and signal zero level (a marker on the left).The Oscilloscope VST Plugin can be used to visualize waveforms in the real-time and frequency domain. It shows us the behavior of a signal input over a certain period, which is essential for analyzing common circuits. It also helps in verifying the functionality of To interface with the ADALM2000 using Python, you need to install the libm2k library. This is a C++ library with available bindings for Python, C#, MATLAB ® , and LabVIEW ® , and has the following functionalities: This simulation is instrumental and informative for students who want to virtually experiment without the need for a real lab (or in the case of lab equipment shortage). They can record measurements of several physical quantities such as the period, the maximum voltage, and the phase shift between the two waveforms, etc.., and from these results, they can determine other quantities like the effective voltage and the frequency. Parametric equations are sets of equations that express quantities in terms of independent variables known as "parameters". An example of a pair of such equations would be
