Prism DScope as a Soundcard?

Hi,

Is there a way to use the analogue inputs on the DScope to record into an editing package such as Audicity / Reaper etc?

It's not been seeing a lot of use at the workshop, as we have other AAs from R+S, AP etc. I was thinking that were the DScope to work well as a soundcard, it could be useful to have in the home system - enabling one box to record, as well as run health checks on the home setup.

Thanks in advance.
 
Just how hard would it be for someone to write a piece of code that enables the DScope to work as a soundcard?

Anyone?

USB has a number of standard “profiles”, some such as the audio profile are well documented whereas data pipeline houses the setup but not the proprietary control messages.

Two options really:

1. USB audio profile - the device would have to support the USB audio standard and therefore it would simply become a sound card/microphone.

2. Use the existing VB links and code a sound driver on Windows to use the script links perhaps?

Some USB devices download firmware on connection into the device - Cypress USB chips did this quite a bit. So without having the device operational and a USB analyser running it’s difficult to say.

That is assuming the existing software support doesn’t provide sound driver support for Windows.
 
Thank you!

IIRC, the DScope does this. I seem to remember that there's a pop-up box telling you it's installing a driver, upon first connection to a new machine.

Something I just thought: the DScope has a fairly loud fan... Maybe it's quite easy to configure for home record / play duties, but no one's bothered for that reason...
