Hi, This is a communication error where the ADC16 and the PC are not talking to each other. Please check that you have done the following: Ensure that you PC has been re-booted after installation of the software. Ensure that the ADC16 is plugged into the serial port directly with the serial cable pr...

Hi, The ADC100 should be suitable for this application, since it has a higher voltage input 20 volts max. You have the option of selecting differrent voltage ranges, which will give a higher resolution and lower LSB value. The sampling rate is 100ksps when one channels is active and 50ksps when both...

Hi, I can only give you an approximation this is based on a 100kHz download rate: It is possible to download just the channel you require. To transfer back the full 128K buffer then: - both channels this will take about 7.68 seconds one channel this will take about 3.84 seconds If less data readings...

Hi, Thank you for the additional information. Depending on the voltage range the and the resolution of change for the voltage the ADC12 or the ADC11/12 will be suitable. The ADC12 is a one channel unit with 12 bits resolution and measures voltage between 0-5 volts. The full specification can be foun...

Hi, The ADC-212/50 takes samples in to a memory buffer. This buffer is 128k in size for each channel. The data is stored in this and downloaded when either the number of samples requested is reached or the buffer is full. Due ot this the ADC212/50 cannot sample continuously, since during the downloa...

Hi, I have look at the Kister 5011, and do not know if this unit will work with our products. Our ocilloscopes use the Picoscope software to display the results on the screen. If you calibrate the electronics from the PC before using the equipment and it is just a case of reading in the values which...

Hi, To connect the salinity probe to the DRDAQ its output would have to be 0-2.5 volts. If it is above this then the output would have to be reduced with a potential divider. The LSB for the DRDAQ is 2.44 mV, if your convertor produces voltage changes above this then it should be OK. To fix the conv...

Hi, You are able to use triggers in Picolog under 'Fast Block Mode', but it only allows you to start a run off and the run then lasts for a specified time, you are not able to stop it by an external event. I do not know if this would be applicable for you as the data collection is only able to colle...

Hi, I did answer the email that was sent, but unfortunately it was bounced back with mail delivery error. Here is what I said. I think the first step is to test the unit on this machine with Picoscope, to see if the same results are received. There are two possible problems that you might be getting...

Hi, Plug in the USB adapter and watch the mouse it should give the hour glass briefly, while the usb adapter is recognised. Once this has been done check that the adapter is listed in the hardware it should read someting like 'Pico USB-PP Parallel Port'. If this cannot be found then it does seem tha...

Hi,

A more comprehensive order form for the DrDAQ equipment can be found here.

Best regards,

Hi, Ensure that nothing elses is trying to access the port at the same time. That the other programs have been closed down correctly, and the port has also been closed. Do not have Picoscope or Picolog running. When you call the function adc200_open_unit(port) does the led on the USB adapter come on...

Hi, To measure these you need a unit that has a minimum of two channels, can measure bipolar voltage. The simplest solution is to use the ADC-100 this unit has two channels measures voltage in the region of ±20 volts and has a sampling rate of 50ksps for each channels while both are active. To measu...

Hi,

You can get non standard thermocouples from us.

If you email me the thermocouples description (part no for standard) I will be able to give you a quote.

Alternatively, if you want to you can source them from elsewhere.

Best regards,

Hi, There is no special probe required for the spectrum analyser. The unit can measure bipolar voltage ±20 volts, you will need a x1/x10 probe if you are going above this voltage or an x10/x100 isolating probe if you intend to measure voltage above the low voltage directive (42.4V Peak, 30V RMS, 60V...
