o enhance the transfer rate and real-time of virtual instrument performance， expand scope of monitoring， this paper uses the VCs software platform to design a fully functional virtual oscilloscope. Compared with traditional virtual oscilloscope， this system adopts the embedded system to complete the data acquisition， industrial Ethernet as the transmission medium used by the linear interpolation algorithm and multi-threaded programming ideas， namely to achieve waveform display， parameter calculation， spectrum analysis and waveform storage and playback. Experimental results show that the virtual oscilloscope can accurately display the waveform with 20kHz sampling frequency， and achieve the desired targets.
