I have a situation where i should measure rectangular waveforms of pulse widths in the order of several micro seconds. This requires a digital CRO and i am not able to get it anywhere. Logic analysers in my college lab are not showing real time waveforms generated on a micro-controller pin.
So. i have a plan of making my computer act like a CRO which gets its inputs from 25pin connector, or usb or something else .
Is there some software which simulates a CRO and accepts real time signals which can be installed on my computer?

Yes, it is but you need to buy also a data acquisition card for your PC.
You need very fast A/D converters and appropriate probes.
Cage (http://www.gage-applied.com/) has a variety, but any search on PC oscilloscopes, or PC data acquisition will give you a variety of options. You actually need a PC card for a Logic analyzer (works better than a CRO for digital signals).

Yes, it is possible. The 3 links below are a start. The are many others. Just do a search for
"oscilloscope software".
