General Description
Pulse Scope is a USB oscilloscope designed to aid fi eld service technicians and
engineers with troubleshooting pulse or frequency related equipment. Use Pulse
Scope to test PLC digital inputs and outputs, fl ow meters with pulsed outputs,
speed sensors, and more. Pulse Scope's simplicity and portability allows you
to quickly visualize and measure waveform features. Actually seeing the
waveform can help locate possible voltage level or pulse width issues making
your system more reliable.
Can be set to wait and capture a single pulse event with long delays
between events (Single Sweep)
Quickly measure max voltage, minimum voltage, peak-peak voltage, positive
width, negative width, period, frequency, and duty cycle
Count pulse events over extended time periods with a maximum count of
over 4 billion pulses
Trigger on rising or falling pulse edge to increase measurement accuracy

  • Page 1 Manual General Description Pulse Scope is a USB oscilloscope designed to aid fi eld service technicians and engineers with troubleshooting pulse or frequency related equipment. Use Pulse Scope to test PLC digital inputs and outputs, fl ow meters with pulsed outputs, speed sensors, and more.
  • Page 2: Safety Considerations

    When you connect the Pulse Scope to your comput- ers USB port, your computer will automatically detect it and confi gure the necessary software. Power for Pulse Scope is taken from the USB port and no external power source is necessary.
  • Page 3: Program Features

    The actual value is set using the Setup > Trigger menu or by pressing F4. See the Trigger Settings section in this manual for details. The pulse scope internal trigger voltage level. Input voltages must cross this voltage before the measured pulse edge can be synchronized. Also, the pulse count (item 6) will increment as the pulse edge crosses the trigger voltage.
  • Page 4: Trigger Settings

    Normal Acquire In normal acquire mode Pulse Scope will not start acquiring data until a trigger edge is detected. Normal is best when there is a long delay between pulse edges because the Pulse Scope will wait for the pulse event before acquiring the frame.

    The Pulse Scope Internal Trigger level is automatically selected to be between the High and Low voltage levels. Pulse scope only has a few values it can use for the internal trigger and determined from the High and Low settings.
  • Page 6: Getting Started

    The sample interval depends on the time scale. If the sample interval is too slow, it is possible for the Pulse Scope to provide a waveform that is not representative of the true waveform. Reducing the time scale will decrease the time between samples (sample interval).
