Yes, but its not what I'd call easy! > .... How can I send the digitized form of this array through a USB port, > and then convert it back intoanalog so I can view it on an oscilloscope? The sending to USB is fairly straightforward but to convert that back to analog once its left the PC you will need some kind of DAC (digital to analog convertor), you cannot do that from inside the PC! DACs are relatively easy to find but not that cheap. But if the frequency is not too high you an probably do it inside the PC and send the analog out using the loudspeaker or line-out jack. Then connect that directly to the 'scope. That should work for frequencies up to 20kHz or so, even 40Khz if you have a good sound card!... hth -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
