Questions and Answers

Here is a selection of the questions that have cropped up recently on our support forum.

Q. It says on your website that the PicoScope 4000 Series supports continuous streaming mode. I have a PicoScope 4424 running PicoScope 6.2.2.12 on Windows XP. Is there a way to activate streaming mode that doesn’t involve programming the scope via the API?
A. Streaming mode is used for the longer timebases in PicoScope 6. To set the timebase at which it switches from block to streaming mode, go to Tools -> Preferences -> Sampling -> Slow sampling transition. The longest timebase is approximately 30 minutes. Therefore, this is the longest unbroken stream of data that you can collect with PicoScope 6. Using the API, you can stream data indefinitely.

Q. Which of your scopes support Advanced Triggering?
A. Here is the complete list of scopes that support Advanced Triggering:
PicoScope 2205, 3224, 3424, 3223, 3423, 3425, 4224, 4424, 4223, 4423, 5203, 5204.
Q. The “Minimum Requirements” specifications for most of your products mention Windows XP SP2. Are these products compatible with SP3?
A. Yes. All Pico products with “Windows XP SP2” listed as a minimum requirement also work with SP3.
