Page 26.348.8USB Soundcard ScopeIn order to visualize the chaotic attractor one would typically use an oscilloscope (see Figure 6),however such devices are frequently out of the price range for hobbyists and students to makea simple demonstration. Moreover, the measurement of analog signals using a Line-In port of adesktop soundcard is no longer a relevant solution to replace an oscilloscope. The 1990’s desktopscame commonly equipped with a soundcard which included a Line-In port. The current computermarket is split between desktop and laptop computers
