Re: Is wraparound possible on PS3206D

Hi Martyn, Sorry for the delayed response. A single waveform capture is also above your upload limit. So I have put the file on dropbox at the following link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kpfj68r22xvplfa/Sample1.psdata?dl=0 . Please take a look and let me know what you find. Thanks for the help, --Patr...

Re: Is wraparound possible on PS3206D

Hi Martyn, Here is a sample of what I am talking about. The psdata file size is above your upload size limit so I've included a screen shot. The blue channel input is from a high frequency antenna connected to a negative polarity Schottky diode detector. The negative spikes are Wifi signals in the 2...

Re: Finding pulse carrier frequency

Hi Hitesh,

I did not know you could spectrum analyze a recording !

Thanks for that tip, I will try that.

Is wraparound possible on PS3206D

Hi, I have been observing pulsed RF signals which are fed to a negative polarity diode detector whose output is hooked up to the scope input. Until now, as expected the output of the detector is always a negative voltage envelope. Now I am seeing the scope display show positive spikes. Is it possibl...

Finding pulse carrier frequency

Hi, I have made some recordings of a pulsed RF signal using my 3206D MSO and the Picoscope software. I am interested in finding the pulse carrier frequency from this. I am not an expert in signal processing. I would like to know if there is some analysis I can do on the recording to extract this inf...

Fastest trigger re-arming on PS3206D MSO

I am trying to write an application for unmonitored data logging using my PS3206D MSO. The signal of interest has bursts of pulses with a pulse repetition interval of a few milliseconds. The bursts themselves are separated by arbitrarily long intervals. The app will arm the trigger and save the ampl...

How to limit the number of captures saved to disk

Hi, I recently purchased the 3206D MSO and have been using it to observe and capture intermittent pulsed waveforms. I have been able to use the alarm feature to save captured waveforms to disk. This works fine when I am physically present at my scope/laptop setup and am there to stop the capture whe...
