===Oscilloscope Introduction===
Flowcode now includes a 4 channel, fully triggering oscilloscope, ideal for testing your applications in both hardware and simulation. It works alongside Ghost Technology to allow users to monitor signals in real time.

===Scope Overview===
Below is an annotated screenshot of the Flowcode oscilloscope, indicating features and controls.

[[File:Oscilloscope.png]]

Green: Select which of the 4 channels you wish to display using the on/ off buttons. Below the channel select is a drop down box, allowing users to select which microconrtoller pin is monitored by the oscilloscope. The radio buttons below each channel are used to select the focus of the volts/ div dial below.

Blue: Select the vertical scale (Volts/div) of the selected channel. Note, this can be different for each channel, to suit your requirements.

Yellow: The main viewing window of the oscilloscope. Any channels switched ON are presented in this window. The trace colour matches the channel. For example, Channel 1 = RED. The small triangle icons on the axes are the triggering cursors. Explained in point 5.

Pink: Users can select the time base of the oscilloscope here. Note, the time base is the same for each of the 4 channels, and cannot be individually set. It is measured in s/div.

Turquoise: Users select their triggering options in this window. Select which channel the oscilloscope will trigger from, and on what edge of the signal; rising, falling or rising AND falling.

Purple: Users configure the run prooperties of the scope here. If single mode is enabled, the scope will run until a trigger occurs and stop monitoring signals. If RPT (repeat) is enabled the scope will continue to run indefinitely.

Red: This option allows users to switch the scope ON/ OFF.
