Math channels: boolean compare operators missing?
Hi,
I want to apply a smaller than operation on my signal and I expected this to be one of the most trivial things to do using a match channel but to my big surprise something simple as A < 0.5 seems to be missing ?
I can only imagine I am looking over the solution ?
Thanks,
Bram

Hi BramPeeters,
Unfortunately, there are no Boolean or conditional operators in PicoScope 6 Math Channels. However, Conditional operators are on the list of inclusions to be implemented for our new version of software (PicoScope 7). In the meantime, you may still be able to achieve your measurement goal, without a Boolean comparison depending upon what it is. Could you tell us exactly what you are attempting to do?
Regards,
Gerry

Re: Math channels: boolean compare operators missing?
I was checking the behavior of a soft starter module, which zero's out the 240VAc for a while after the zero crossing, with this "zero-out period" length reducing over time till you get the full sinus at the output.
So I was looking for a way to better visualize that evolution in zero out period length. Having a math channel going to 1 during the zero (or < than a certain value) times, 0 during the on times would do it, maybe even integrate that value over a(multiple of a) number of (1/50Hz) cycles for added clarity.
It is not super critical, it just surprised me that much more complex stuff is available and such a simple operator not. Nice to know that the feature will be added!
