Re: TA 167 Current probe

you calibrate the conde 1 time (if you are using the same probe)
Then every time (after proper warmup of 1 hour) the offset will be the same.
So you can hard code it (if you use the same probe every time) and don't touch the zero button.

Re: TA 167 Current probe

The zerro button is probably a capacitor. I prefer to not touch the zerro button but do the offset correction in code. Then you have no drift over time. On those type of clamps this only works for a short time. Also temperature drift and magnetic field changes can cause drift. Are you using it in AC ...

Re: Pico 7 using Windows 10

Have you tried a different usb port on the pc. In my experience when a picoScope is powered on 24/7 while the pc is turned of and on every day, the scope can not be found sometimes. Pulling the usb cable and reconnect again (eg scope power cycle fixes this every time) After using a different USB ...

Re: How to get in real time the "Trend" of a measure?

With the SDK in streaming mode this can be done.
The only problem is you need to make your own way to display the results.
On the other hand you can display it the way you like.

Re: Picoscope 2204 & can bus datalogging never valid frames

1. You need to do B-A and not A-B (or switch the probes from A and B)
2. you have only 1 node on the bus 0x72 so there is no one to acknowledge the message.

If you have a 2nd node on the bus it will ack the frame and you frame is ok.
I have attached the corrected psdata from the first sample.

Re: Feature suggestion for trigger types

You can also use picoscope 7 software for your 5000 type scope. And what you mean is auto trigger mode. Not exactly as you describe but sort of. That is also in the old picoscope 6 software. But since picoscope 6 is not longer maintained I suggest you start using PS 7 especially when you are new to ...

Re: Export data format from PicoScope 3000 Series oscilloscope software

This is something Pico has to answer. I can setup a function gen to generate a A B signal with varying phase shift, and see if there is a picoscope function to calculate the shift. In the CSV / Excel export you get the ADC values so you need to count the samples between high and low to do ...

Re: Export data format from PicoScope 3000 Series oscilloscope software

I am not from picoscope, but I can give you some values. 40000 rpm = 666 rps time 4096 edges = 2.7E6 edges / sec. If you want to measure the phase shift at 1 degree accuracy you will need at least 90 x 2.7e6 samples / sec is 245e6 samples / sec. Then 1 sample is 1 degree. With a 500Msamples/sec ...

Re: Export data format from PicoScope 3000 Series oscilloscope software

For how long of data you want to export ?
0.1 sec
1 sec
60 sec

What degree of phase shift you want to detect ? (so how many samples per single encoder step ?)

Re: Would micsig voltage probe fit series 4 usb pico oscilloscope?

I have never seen a active probe that outputs more than +/- 5V

But don't expect to measure accurate mv Values at a 1:500 or 1:100 probe.
If you want to measure low voltages with a floating differential probe there are special versions for low voltages that do 1:1 or 10:1 or even 100:1.

Re: Would micsig voltage probe fit series 4 usb pico oscilloscope?

Yes you can add custom probes. There is probably already a profile for this probe and if not you can make it in 2 minutes. And it display's the correct values even the special measurements use the correct values.
