PC216 as an ATE measurement system

Hi,
I am looking at building a PC based ATE system using the ADC-216 as the the measurement engine.

Most of the measurements would be things such as signal peak voltage, distortion, noise etc

Does the software drivers provide support for these sort of measurements ?
Do do they just return raw data and then I would have to do the maths crunching afterwards ?

Thanks

Alun

Hi Alun

Thank you for your post.

The data returned from the drivers that we supply would be raw data, so you would have to make the calculations yourself.

Many calculations are done in our Picoscope software, however if you are writing your own software you will need to include the calculations into your program code yourself.

Hope this helps

Best Regards
