ADC-200/20 External Horizontal Drive

ALMARC · Post by **ALMARC** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 10:58 pm

I am trying to use the ADC200/20 with PicoScope 5.11.6 just as I would use a conventional oscilloscope. I need to set the PicoScope for external horizontal drive with a vertical sensitivity of 1V/CM. How can this be done? My application is to use the Dual Sweep method of FM receiver alignment using a Sound Technology ST1000A FM alignment generator. I need a 60Hz sinewave to control the horizontal drive of the Pico so I can create an envelope wave form on the display. Any suggestions would be marvelous. Happy Holidays to all.

Hi

Thank you for your post.

I am not sure what you mean by "external horizontal drive". Could you explain this a bit more?

Best Regards

Hi

I think the poster means he wants to use the PicoScope in X-Y mode. This is a mode most analog scopes have, where the A channel moves the "beam" up and down and the B channel moves it left to right.

You can create an "XY Scope View" in the PicoScope software and all should be well

The PicoScope online help explains how to do it.
