High speed and high resolution. Breakthrough ADC technology switches from 8 to 16 bits in the same oscilloscope.
This experiment investigates magnetic induction by dropping a magnet through a coil and observing the induced electromotive force (EMF) using a PC Oscilloscope (PicoScope 2205).
Drop the magnet through the coil, making sure you catch it before it hits the floor! Measure the induced EMF with the PC Oscilloscope. Use the PicoScope rulers or automatic measurements to record the amplitude and save each of the waveforms.

A typical trace is shown below using PicoScope 6 as illustrated in Figure 2.
