Picoscope Channels and probes settings.

Hello,
Is there a way to program picoscope script so that i can observe signals from a current probe and adjust probe settings? So far i can observe voltage signals but not current.

Hi

In PicoScope 6 you can set the probe scaling to translate the voltage values the scope measures into whatever the probe is measuring. This can be found in the channel menu by clicking on the channel then selecting the Probe you wish to scale either from the drop down menu or by pressing the three dots button to input a new probe if the scaling doesn't exist.

Hi Neil,

But can these probe adjustments be done in picoscope MATLAB script because i have created a matlab app for my picoscope 5000 series and i want to be able to observe the measurement of the current probe with in the script. So my question is with in the matlab script, can i be able to select probe type (ie current or voltage probes). so far in the matlab script i can only only adjust channel settings but not probe settings. The programmers guide doesn't have such information.

The probe scaling in PicoScope 6 are a post processing software feature which can be replicated in MATLAB by using the scaling factor of the probe and multiplying the measured voltage by that scaling to get what the probe sees. This is all done after the data is collected from the scope rather than on the scope itself.

Solved. Thanks.
