Latest Science Experiments and Education News
Our library of science experiments for data loggers and oscilloscopes continues to grow. New experiments this month include:
how effective different insulating materials are
how temperature changes during chemical reactions
See these and many other interesting and educational experiments at: http://www.picotech.com/experiments/
Automotive News
Our library of automotive waveforms has been expanded and re-organised and can be found at:http://www.picoauto.com
Most pages contain (as well as the waveform) an expanded explanation of what the waveform is showing. There is also a new option to download the picoscope data file (.psd). This allows you to print the waveform from PicoScope, it also automates all the settings in the scope if you wish to make a similar measurement.

PicoLog Hints and Tips
In the second part of this 'hints and tips' series we highlight some 'cool features' within PicoLog software that you may not be aware of.
Support for multiple converters. With PicoLog software you can use a mix of our products on the same PC at the same time. For example you could use a TC-08 to record temperature on 8 channels and a ADC-16 to record voltages from another 8 channels. PicoLog will record and display from all 16 channels.
To enable support for multiple converters, select File | New Settings and click on the 'enable multiple converters' button.
'Save As' options. When you collect data in PicoLog it is saved as default as a PicoLog data file (.PLW extension). By selecting File | Save As from the PicoLog recorder you also have a number of other choices, these are:
Settings Files (.pls) which contain all the settings, but no data, this is useful for storing different setups for later recall.
Text files (.txt) which store the data in simple ASCII text format which many programs can import.
Comma separated values (.csv) which most spreadsheets and data base programs can import.
