I installed a software that let me use the PC as an oscilloscope , but
it does not mention how to connect the circuits to be tested with the computer an through which port.Does anyone lead me?
I mean how can I connect that cable to
the circuit ?

Programs like that typically use the sound card as an A to D converter.
You probably have to use the input port on your sound card(either mic in or aux in). You may be able to buy a cable from your local electronics shop or you may have to make your own.
About the only way to connect this cable to your circuit would be to use alligator clips.

I depend on the circuit and how it will communicate to the computer. I am sure you will need some kind of buffer circuit and some kind of communication protocol, serial USART, Parallel or USB etc. Be careful, you might burn up some port or something else if you don’t know what are you doing.
