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
