Hi

The ADC-11 records voltage. It is likely that your anemometer outputs a series of pulses.

You would need to use a frequency-to-voltage converter to give you a voltage proportional to wind speed.

I hope this helps

Hi Have a look at our PP218 Current clamp, which can measure currents down to 10 mA (http://accessories.picotech.com/current_clamps.html). It sounds as though the entry-level 2000 scopes (http://www.picotech.com/picoscope2200-specifications.html) would be suitable for your application. Hope this hel...

Hi You can use the zoom options in the toolbar (change it from x1 to x10, for example). You can then scroll from left to right along the x-axis to find your frequency of interest. You will have a second vertical axis in scope mode if you use 2 channels, but not in spectrum mode. I hope this helps Ro...

Hi

This is not possible using our software, you would need to write your own.

Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Hi

It sounds as if a logger (such as the ADC-11) may be better suited to your application.

How often do you need to sample?

Hello Odey

It should be straight forward to do what you are asking.

What version of the software are you using?

Hi Paul The most channels we have in a scope is four (PicoScope 3424). It may be possible to use three of these scopes if you write your own software. However, I would need to look in to it further. How long do you wish to collect the data for? Are you sure that 800 kS/s is high enough? Such a low s...

Hi For the data loggers, we give conversion times rather than sampling rates. The spec for the ADC20 can be found here: http://www.picotech.com/precision-data-acquisition.html It has a range of conversion times that can be selected and faster conversion times will reduce the resolution. The followin...

Hi Just so I understand, you switch from spectrum mode to scope mode, change the time base, change back to spectrum mode and find that the vertical scale has changed. Is this correct? I have not been able to recreate this situation. X-Y plots are on the to-do list for PicoScope 6. I will pass on you...

Hi Mike

Have a look at Pico's range of current clamps http://accessories.picotech.com/current_clamps.html Something like the 300 A AC current clamp might be suitable. This will output 1 mV per Amp.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The EL040 (http://www.picotech.com/e_converters.html#el040) is a three channel converter that can be used with the TA011 current clamps to measure AC current up to 300 Amps. This converter has an input range of up to 1 V RMS AC. Therefore, if you wish to use this to record AC voltage you will need t...
