Read full description

Husker Scope provides an all-in-one cross platform application that implements a Dual Channel (DC) Function Generator, DC AM/FM Modulator, DC Oscilloscope, DC Spectrum Analyzer, and an 8-channel Logic Analyzer. This app outputs audio range (20Hz to 20kHz) signals via the speakers / 3.5mm audio jack left & right channels and inputs signals either through the microphone audio jack (for audio input ranges) or through a custom hardware board (that can handle up to 500kHz signals). The hardware board can connect through serial on a PC or through Bluetooth on a mobile device. For more information and to view the custom hardware board, visit: https://www.huskerscope.com

About

Signal Scope Studio

Features
Read full description

Signal Scope Studio combines a dual-channel oscillator, an output signal simulator, a live microphone oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer, and a stereo decibel meter in one audio toolkit. DUAL SIGNAL GENERATOR • Set sine, square, triangle, falling sawtooth, or white noise independently for LEFT and RIGHT • Adjust frequency from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and volume from 0 to 100% with 270-degree dials. Frequency also supports numeric entry • Adjust left and right frequency and volume independently, or link them while preserving the ratios at the time linking is enabled • Output different frequencies from the left and right channels to produce beats and other effects OUTPUT SIGNAL SIMULATOR • Linearly sum LEFT + RIGHT internally and display the waveform and spectrum together • Adjust Auto Trigger, freeze/resume, vertical and horizontal zoom, and refresh interval • Control frequency range, spectrum sensitivity, and FFT resolution with dials or pinch and pan gestures • Save high-resolution graphs with a dark navy background, white text, and green traces to Photos WAVESCOPE • Display the time-domain waveform and frequency spectrum of microphone input together in real time • Use Auto Trigger, freeze display, pinch zoom, and a movable settings window • Open Dual Signal Generator within the app and measure the actual sound emitted by the same device DECIBEL METER • Display relative microphone input levels on analog-style VU meters in real time • Automatically detect stereo or mono input: two separate meters for the left and right channels in stereo, or one meter in mono • Use PEAK indicators to spot brief sounds near the maximum input level • Save a calibration offset to match a commercial decibel meter MORE • All features are available for seven days from the original download date. After the trial, Dual Signal Generator and Decibel Meter remain free to use; a one-time purchase lets you continue using WaveScope. • Includes detailed offline manuals in Japanese, English, and French. • Supports iPhone and iPad in portrait and landscape. PLEASE NOTE • Measurements depend on the device and environment. • This app is intended for education, experiments, and general audio checks. It is not a substitute for calibrated instruments, certified sound-level meters, or medical devices.
