Hi Josef, The 3000 series has a range of Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes (MSO) http://www.picotech.com/usb3-oscilloscope-logic-analyzer.html These device have 2/4 analogue channels and 16 digital channels. Certain programming languages such as LabVIEW cannot support C style callbacks, which streaming req...

Hi,

Testing with your settings.

I found the voltage drop to be 5.07V or 5.06V

When waiting for a trigger the current draw is 870 mA, when collecting data it is 860mA and when idle it is 820 mA.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Hi, A Beta release Instrument Driver package has been uploaded for the PicoScope 6000 Series range: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/48311-picoscope%C2%AE-6000-series-matlab%C2%AE-generic-instrument-driver Please leave a rating on the page if you are downloading it from there.

Hi,

I do not believe the device can be used with Pspice.

Please correct me if am wrong but Pspice cannot import dll function calls and would require us to create a driver specifically for Pspice.

Kind Regards,

Hi, Looking at the PS5000asdk_r10_5_0_32 PicoScope5000aExampleBlock.vi I was able to set the timebase to 0. (Please look at image below) PS5000a Res.png The screen shot shows block mode with a timebase of 0 and the resolution circled on the left. If you set the resolution to 8 bit can you set a time...

Hi, The current draw will depend on: • The sampling Rate (higher sampling rate will draw more power), • The signal you are putting into the device, • voltage source to the USB (The lower the voltage supply the higher the current draw will be), • If the device is waiting for a trigger and • The resol...

Hi, Please note that Rapid block does have a re-arm of less than 2us at the fastest sampling rate. The time it takes to re-arm plus the time until the next trigger point(since you have zero pretrigger) is dead time. This means no samples will be stored. Could you tell me the sample the rate you requ...

Hi,

A colleague ran a test with a 5443 and found the current consumption was around 990mA.

Please note the power supply is only require if you are using more that 2 channels.

Hi,

Which version of the SDK did you download?

Hi, Unfortunately there is not way using the API functions we provide to find the current frequency of the signal. Like hexamer said could you spare a channel to measure the frequency? And most of our device will also allow you to change the frequency during capture, so you could alter the frequency...

Hi Josef,

In the SDK R10.5.0.32 the PicoScope3000aExampleStreaming.vi you should be able to select if the sample interval is specified in ns or us.

Please download the latest SDK from http://www.picotech.com/software.html

Kind Regards,

Hi Emanuel, I have tested the 4262, using LabVIEW 2013, with 500 ns sample interval and I can see no corruption in the actual signal when I change the wait time to 0. But I do not have the FFT code so I cannot replicate what you are seeing. Would it be possible to send your FFT example to support@pi...

Hi,

Development are still looking at the best way to implement this.

What you can do it save to .mat and then using a third party tool or matlab to convert it into txt.

You can also email support@picotech.com and I can help you further there.

Kind Regards

Hi,

Would you be able to email support@picotech.com?
Where I can help you further.

Hi,

I have updated the 2000a C# console example in the SDK and will be made available for download in a later release.

If you require it before the the new SDK build release please email support@picotech.com.

Kind Regards,
