The Oscilloscope application in Zaber Launcher is a tool for visualizing changes in Zaber device settings over time. Examples of settings you might want to graph are its present target and actual positions and velocities, and the states of analog and digital I/O pins. There are many more settings available to display.

The Oscilloscope is especially useful in concert with the Servo Tuner application, as it can be used to quickly evaluate the performance of direct drive devices after changing their tuning settings.

The first video in this series introduces the basic features and usage of the Oscilloscope application and covers the two most commonly used modes: Polled and Buffered capture modes.

The second video shows how to use the Oscilloscope to display data captured on a device under the control of an external program written using the Zaber Motion Library.
