SIGNAL ANALYSIS PICtail™
DAUGHTER BOARD USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 2. Using the PICkit™ 1 Signal Analysis PC Application
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter explains the operation of the PICkit 1 Signal Analysis PC Application. The
Signal Analysis PICtail Daughter Board works as an extension to the PICkit 1 Flash
Starter Kit. When combined with PICkit 1 V2.0.0 (or later) firmware and the PICkit 1
Signal Analysis PC Application, the Signal Analysis PICtail Daughter Board can
perform signal analysis capabilities such as:
• Real-time Strip Chart
• Oscilloscope
• Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT)
• Histogram
• Programming
2.2 HIGHLIGHTS
This chapter discusses:
• Programming PICA2Dlab into the PIC16F684
• Selecting the mode
• Oscilloscope Plot
• FFT (Fast Fourier Transform)
• Histogram
2.3 PROGRAMMING PICA2DLAB INTO THE PIC16F684
1. Attach the Signal Analysis PICtail Daughter Board to the PICkit 1 Flash Starter
Kit as shown in Figure 2-1.
