need oscilloscope software

i am looking for software to use my computer as an oscilloscope or logic frequency counter. i am building a dc pulse generator with lm-555 timer and need to set it an exact freq. and i think i will also need schematics for interface.

thanks for the help.

if your willing to spen over 800 bucks for it
search digikey catalog, I think they have 3 of them.
that is a very expensive way to go for a simple project like that.

what frquency response do you need
under 2mhz ?
radio shack has one for 200 dollars I think

you may be able to pick up or borrow a didital volt meter to do this with as most of the new ones will have a freq counter built into them.

i have one but it reads only ac frquency but not dc + pulses, i need to read pulses per second on output of an lm555 timer.
