Bode Plotter

The Bode Plotter is VNA (Vector Network Analyzer) software that operates the CircuitGear hardware over the frequency range 0.1 Hz to 3 MHz to measure amplitude and phase for circuit theory and filter design exercises.

Software

The oscilloscope, generator, and digital I/O are operated from a software GUI (graphic user interface) included with the hardware. The software is open-source and source code is included. The sotware is written in Tcl/Tk, a scripting language that is easy to learn yet powerful for creating GUIs. It runs under Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac operating systems.

CircuitGear is compatible with National Instruments Labview. The Labview drivers are open-source and operate under NI Labview for Windows, Linux and Unix platforms.

System Requirements

Pentium 233 MHz, 64 MB RAM, 5 MB Hard Drive Space
Minimum 1024x768 screen resolution at 16 bit color depth
USB Port
Windows 98SE/Windows ME/Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows Vista
Linux with kernel 2.4 or higher, X Windows
