PicoScope 7 Software
Available on Windows, Mac and Linux
The new PicoSource PG900 Series differential pulse generators can stimulate a transmission path, device or network with a broad-spectrum signal in a single instant. These signals are invaluable for making high-speed broadband measurements in many fields such as time-domain reflectometry, semiconductor testing, gigabit interconnect and port testing, and in radar systems.
Despite the dominance of high-speed differential data in today's digital, computing, interconnect and telecommunications systems, it was hard to find cost-effective, fast-transition differential pulse generators... until now!

R6.11.7 is ready for download from our website at Home / Downloads. This release contains a number of bugfixes on the way to our next stable (non-beta) version. To remind you, the features that are in beta but not in the current stable version include:
Aaron Hexamer has updated his "FRA4PicoScope" frequency response analyzer to support all current PicoScope models (subject to testing). Other new features include gain and phase margin calculation and plotting, faster analysis, as well as a number of bugfixes and improvements.
Read about FRA4PicoScope on our forum and download a free installer for Windows
Please let us know if you have developed an application using a PicoScope SDK. Just log into our forum and post a note.
When sensing current using a Rogowski coil, the voltage output of the coil is proportional to the rate of change of current so you need to integrate the signal to obtain the current. Luckily, you can do this easily in PicoScope using a math channel.
Go to Tools > Math Channels, click Create, and in the equation editor enter integral(A/c). This assumes that your signal is on channel A. In place of the c you will need to type the value of the coil's sensitivity constant, which depends on its geometry.
