Hello and welcome

It's time for Pico's September newsletter, and we've got plenty to share with you this month. There's our new Network Metrology Training Kit for use with the PicoVNA 106, an exciting new update for the PicoSource AS108, two new versions of PicoLog 6 and a video focusing on the PicoScope 4444 differential oscilloscope.

Check out our events list to see which shows we'll be attending this autumn, or the careers section if you'd like to join the Pico team!

Building on the popular PicoVNA 106 Vector Network Analyzer, the new PQ189 Network Metrology Training PCA is a printed circuit assembly that carries example lumped element, active and passive and transmission line DUTs and end-of-line SOLT calibration standards.

Providing students with real-world measurement challenges and experience, the Network Metrology Training PCA comes with a protective carry case and is available on its own or as part of a larger kit that includes adaptors, test leads and further calibration standards. Demonstrator kits containing calibration accessories are also available.

In partnership with AWR (a National Instruments company), we have also released a new AWR Interface Wizard, a plug-in interface for their market-leading Microwave Office software and the PicoVNA 106. The wizard allows you to transfer measurement data between your PicoVNA 106 and AWR Microwave Office, with a single click, for comparison with or use within simulation.

New stable and beta releases for PicoLog 6 out this month

This month sees the stable release of PicoLog 6.1.12, with full support for the PicoScope 6000 Series of oscilloscopes, along with updated drivers for all other devices and a couple of bug fixes.

Read the release notes for full details, or download the software now.

Out today, PicoLog 6.1.13 Beta is ready for the upcoming release of macOS Catalina, with its new Gatekeeper security feature. All future releases of PicoLog will automatically be notarized by Apple.

In this video, Pico Applications Engineer Stuart Murlis shows you how to measure and monitor three-phase voltages and currents safely with the PicoScope 4444 differential oscilloscope.

It's always worthwhile making sure you have the most recent versions of our software. If you have a PicoSource AS108 Agile Synthesizer, you may not be aware that you can set it up to run without a USB connection. To use your AS108 in standalone mode, just follow these steps:

Connect the synthesizer to the computer and open the PicoSynth 2 software
Set up the device as you wish
On the Settings tab, click Save To Device

Saving the settings to the device means that the next time you switch it on, these settings will be used by default - you can now just connect it to your DUT, without opening PicoSynth again. Power-up operation of a synthesizer can be critical to the systems that it drives.
