Picoscope Basics Part 1

This is part 1 of a series of "scope basics" videos. In this video the focus is on time base and voltage scale basics, trigger, trigger slope, trigger delay, multiple channel triggering, auto trigger, single trigger and repeat trigger.

Picoscope Basics Part 2

PicoScope 6: Trigger Mode Basics

In this video, PicoScope 6 basic trigger modes are described, plus an example of using the rapid trigger mode to reduce dead time between captures (trigger re--arm time).

PicoScope 6: Triggering Menus

A demonstration of the triggering menus and basic trigger options such as pre, post and delay triggers in PicoScope 6.

PicoScope 6: Advanced Trigger Modes

This video provides a walkthrough of the PicoScope 6 advanced triggering menu, using examples of runt pulses and pulse width triggers.

PicoScope 6: Saving and Loading Waveforms and Setups

This video demonstrates how to save single and multiple waveform captures to disk and reload them, and how to save alternative setups.
