Hi

Unfortunately, this is not possible. The saved waveform can only be displayed as it was saved.

Hello psiolent

From your images, it looks like quantisation error. What voltage range are you using ans what is the voltage range of the signal that you are measuring?

Regards

Crawford Before I recommend sending the unit back to us, I want to be sure of your setup. What version of PicoScope software do you have? Which Windows service packs do you have installed? You connected the signal generator to channel B, turned the signal generator on, enabled channel B and could no...

Also, what other USB devices do you have connected to your PC? Has this changed since the 2203 was working?

Crawford If you connect the signal generator output to one of the input channels, you should see the signal being generated. If you have one available, could you try using another PC. This will help to identify where the problem lies. Also, it's always good to check that you have the latest software...

Neil I should have noticed, but you are operating outside of the input range of the logger. Your common-mode voltage should be within the input range of the logger i.e +/- 2.5 V.. You could reduce your input using a potentiometer or you can connect your 5 V to the ground as long as whatever you are ...

Crawford

Do you have the same problem with no triggering?

Do you have the same problem if you connect the 2203's signal generator rather than your strain gauge?

Hi sudhisha

Can you explain what you mean by "flash trigger"?

The documentation describes all of the available triggering modes.

Hi riovandaino

We don't have any Python examples, but other users out there might.

You might find it easier to choose one of the examples in another language and adapt it.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Hi Crawford

I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems.

When it was working previously, was that using the same PC, operating system and software?

What is happening now? Can you start PicoScope 6 and see what unit is connected (help -> about)? At what point does picoscope 6 crash?

Hi

You can set up custom probes in PicoScope 6. These allow you to specify scaling either by a linear equation or a look-up table. Select "custom probes" from the "tools" menu. Click on "new probe" and this will start a wizard to guide you through the set-up.

I hope this helps

PicoLog will only display 16 channels simultaneously on the spreadsheet and graph. You can define groups of channels and easily switch between them. So, you could define two groups of 12 or group channels that are related by type or location (for example) and easily switch between the two groups. I ...

Hi Paul

To do this, you would need to write your own software. You would end up with a lot of data if you are logging for hours (77 Mbits/s or 34.6 GB per hour). Can you not use a trigger to eliminate this long collection time and only start recording on a particular event?
