Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hi Aaron, I have recently had an new issue with the FRA not starting. I get a couple of seconds of blue spinning wheel and but the program fails to start. Picoscope 7 still loads and works fine. I used FRA a couple of months ago without any issues. I am sorry i have not given you much to go on. I h...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hello, I have a Problem with the Data Export. Every time I Export the Data, the CSV contains wrong frequencies. The values are completely wrong and don't make any sense. You can find an Example in the Attachments. Hi Eduard, Those frequencies are log base 10 of the actual frequency. If you'd like t...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hi Aaron, I would like to add my thanks to Aaron. His software together with the ImpedanceViewer software from eevblog allows new insights into the behavior of e.g. inductors and capacitances, especially with the high resolution of PicoScope 5xxx. (So far I have been quite happy with my PicoScope 3...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Aaron for developing and supporting this app. Very easy to setup and use and has me generating plots of valve amps straightaway, and dovetails well with a new 4224A. For me it allows automated plotting below 10Hz, and above 100kHz, which is where all the feedback ...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hi HPC, Sorry you're having trouble. I'm not sure why the installer needs to know the path to the older MSI, but in any case if you want to try satisfying that dependency, the archive has that MSI: https://bitbucket.org/hexamer/fra4picoscope/downloads/FRA4PicoScope_Download_Archive_29-AUG-2020.zip I...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hi there ! First of all, I'd like to thank a LOT Hexamer and everyone who contributed to develop that incredible tool. It works wonderfully on my 2204A bought specifically for that task. Huge thanks to you all ! The app is super stable on my Win10 machine and does launch on my Lecroy scope running ...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hi Michael, Thank you for the help testing. I've made the executable described above and published the source: https://bitbucket.org/hexamer/usbtmc-scpi-exe/downloads/Rigol-USBTMC-SCPI-EXE.exe https://bitbucket.org/hexamer/usbtmc-scpi-exe/src/main/ For this to work, you'll need a USB-TMC driver inst...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hi Michael, So that I'm not totally shooting in the dark here, I bought a banged up DG1022 to get something working on my end first. Since all these units use USB-TMC and SCPI, whatever I make will probably also work for your DG4162. Of course, with anything, there's more than on way to do it. Here ...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hi Michael, Sorry I missed your posts,. Seems like I'm not getting notifications :( I'm confident we can get this to work, but the issue is that the DLL plugin is something that needs to be custom developed to conform to an interface the FRA app expects. It's a pretty simple interface, so generally ...

Re: 3406D MSO loading the signal

Are you using the exact same probes when you try this on your Tek scope and PicoScope? The bandwidth of a scope probe in 1:1 attenuation setting is significantly lower than its 10:1 setting. I don't know what probes you're using, but the current passive probes Pico sells have a 10MHz bandwidth in 1:...

Re: Reading Max Sample Rate from a PicoScope

But the 3205D's maximum sample rate is 200MHz, and that is with 1 channel enabled. So my method fails. That is not correct. Per the spec's I see published online, the 3205D has a maximum sampling rate of 1GS/s with 1 channel and 500 MS/s with two channels, so your method seems to be working just fi...

Re: Picoscope timebase

The timebase equations are the same regardless of channels used. As you guessed, what's limited is the minimum timebase.

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Hi Aaron, After a few weeks of testing some 2406B, i encountered a problem with the FRA4PicoScope application. Although we have installed the SDK32 bit, the application keeps giving the same error "Signal generator plugin not configured". We tested it on different PCs with Win 7, Win 10 and Win 11 ...

Re: Frequency Response Analyzer with Bode Plots

Nicosten, Those are both excellent suggestions. The second one is already implemented, but I haven't made a release yet. I'll post some screenshots so you can see what is available. On the first one, I've previously envisioned having a separate window to display the (already existing) diagnostic tim...
