power factor paradox

trace.png Hi, I'm using a 3204 which is rapidly approaching its 20th birthday, and the noise performance is somewhat improved since I persuaded a visiting ant colony to move out. But that's not why I'm posting today. I'm using some of the maths functions to calculate power and VA so that I can dete...

software installation on Windows 98

Hi, I'm trying to install my 3204 on an ancient laptop that I've been given to use as a dedicated machine (and why not). Having installed the latest picoscope software I attached the 'scope and am now being asked to locate a file called picopp.cat. There's no sign of this file, nor can I track it do...
