CAN bus was originally developed for the automotive industry but is now also used in the environmental control systems of aircraft. Its advantages include fault-tolerance, predictable timing and a good balance between performance and cost.
The PicoScope 6 software included with all PicoScope oscilloscopes has CAN bus decoding built in, but some customers requiring more detailed signal quality analysis have used our SDK to develop their own applications. One example is Vector Informatik GmbH, who are using PicoScope 5000 Series Flexible Resolution Oscilloscopes in the development and maintenance of CAN buses in avionics. PicoScope 5000 Series oscilloscopes are especially suited to this kind of analysis because they provide a range of modes from high speed to high resolution in one instrument.

Our engineers have been busy developing a new oscilloscope for making floating measurements. It's still only a prototype, but on 1st April we released this video preview. The basic concept seems sound but we think that fan noise might be a problem.
PicoScope oscilloscopes can perform a wide range of measurements. These are grouped into two measurement systems: automated measurements and math channels. Here is how to display two commonly used measurements—frequency and duty cycle—using the two systems:
Did you know that your mouse wheel can save you time in PicoScope 6? As well as the keyboard shortcuts for adjusting timebase and other controls, the mouse wheel operates on whichever scrollable control is in focus. For example, click twice on the arrow next to the timebase control so that the timebase setting is in focus (a dotted rectangle will appear around it). You can now change timebase by turning the mouse wheel.
Did you also know that the triggering toolbar (initially at the bottom of the PicoScope 6 window) can be switched to the top of the window? This is useful when your Windows (or other) taskbar keeps popping up over the top of your PicoScope window, hiding the trigger controls. To move the triggering toolbar, go to Tools > Preferences > Options and check Move Trigger toolbar to top.
