I'm a bit rusty on interfacing a computer with an analog signal and am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. I'm running a science experiment that involves monitoring an accelerometer's analog output signal with a Tektronix 465B oscilloscope. I would like to digitally store single sweep outputs from my scope, so I can study the waveform at my leisure without having to squint at the screen as it briefly illuminates.
Is there some software package available that can store single sweep outputs from your scope on your computer? Would I have to first convert the analog signal to a digital signal, before inputting it into a USB port, or is there some software that would do that conversion automatically?
I'm not sure it's OK to simply type in a URL with this post. But here's the URL of the webpage where my experiment is described: www.starflight1.freeyellow.com
