Brochure

PicoLog 6 is a complete data acquisition software package which is fully compatible with Windows, macOS
and Linux.
With its clear and user-friendly layout, ideal for use with a mouse or a touchscreen, PicoLog 6 allows you to set up the
logger and start recording with just a few clicks of the mouse, whatever your level of data logging experience. Set up
simple or advanced acquisitions quickly, and record, view and analyze your data with ease. Available in 7 languages.

PicoLog 6’s built-in demo mode allows you to try out the full functionality of the
software with a choice of virtual devices and simulated live data. You also can
use PicoLog 6 to view previously saved data, even with no device connected. Visit

PicoLog 6 software
Pullout information panel
Manage your channel and axis
settings, alarms, notes and
capture information in this
easy-to-read layout. Close the
panel to make more room for
the capture graph, and reopen
it at any time.
Pan and zoom
controls
Zoom in, zoom out,
zoom to a selection or
pan through the data
with these tools. If you
make a mistake, just
click Undo.
Cursors and
annotations
Use cursors to
highlight the data
value and time at any
point on the graph, or
click Add annotation
to mark that point with
a text note.
Data view
Display all the data
collected so far or
keep the graph scale
the same and pan
along as new samples
appear.

Graph view
Display your data
in real time, as it is
collected, on up to four
independent Yaxes
simultaneously: set
them up by dragging
and dropping the entries
in the Channels & Axes
panel on the right.
Save and Export options
Copy your graph to the
clipboard, save it as a
PDF, export the raw data
to a CSV le, or save the
data and conguration
as a robust .picolog
database le.
Capture controls
Separate Record,
Pause and Reset
buttons make it
harder to press any
of them by mistake.
Notes & annotations
Add notes about the
dataset as a whole
or annotations about
particular points on
the graph.
Multiple devices
Log data on up to 20
devices at the same
time. Here, three
separate data loggers
are in use: two TC-08s
and one ADC-24
voltage input logger.
Alarms
Set up alarms to
alert you to a range
of events. Alarms
can take the form
of sounds, visual
notications, graph
annotations and more.
Device settings view
Easily set up and
adjust acquisition and
math channels on one
or more data loggers
and check their status
at a glance.
Alarms and
annotations
In PicoLog 6, you can
set up an alarm to
alert users when a
parameter goes out
of range. This can be
congured to play a
sound, display visual
alerts on the screen,
run a specied application such as an email or SMS client,
and automatically annotate the capture graph to mark when
the alarm happened and its duration. Alarms can also trigger
a digital output on devices with supporting hardware, such as
the PicoLog 1000 Series, ADC-24 and DrDAQ. You can even
trigger a digital output from one of these devices based on an
alarm condition from another connected logger without digital
outputs, such as a TC-08.
View live numerical data in table format
Table View allows you to view live and saved data from your
logger.
When conguring table view, it is possible to add 4 statistical
parameters to each channel: last sample, minimum, maximum
and average. In addition, you can specify the table update rate
for the display of live data or the time interval between rows
for saved data.
Intuitive logger and channel setup
In the Device Conguration view you can instantly see the
status of instruments, channel settings and math channels. An
image of the device appears for each device detected, showing
which channels are enabled. From this screen you can view and
adjust settings such as adding graph axes, per-channel scaling
factor, alarms, notes, graph annotations, channel naming and
color, sample mode and sample interval.
Math channels
Some applications
require the recording
and graphing of a
calculated parameter
containing data
from one or more
measurement
channels. PicoLog 6
is equipped with an
equation builder to perform simple calculations such as A – B,
or more complex functions such as log, sqrt, abs, round, min,
max, mean and median. Math channels are treated like any
normal channel, so you can perform functions like alarms,
graphing and annotations on them.
Software features
Exporting data
Exporting large datasets to CSV can often be troublesome due
to le size limitations, so PicoLog 6 includes a suite of export
options using the Table View to build your dataset. These
include downsampling, selecting channels to export or even
restricting the export region to the zoomed area on screen.
Want to export
a screen shot?
PicoLog 6 includes
a feature to export
the graph as a PDF,
again, select either
the entire capture or
the zoomed area of
interest. The export
to PDF format also
includes options
to include alarm
trigger history, annotations, channel conguration and capture
notes, for a complete capture report.
View live data in Graph View
The PicoLog 6 Graph View makes it easy to view captures,
zoom and pan through large datasets, record alarm history and
display when alarms occurred. It also allows you to annotate
the graph with your notes and observations.
Adding additional graph axes is also essential for multi-channel
logging applications where measurement units are different for
every channel, or when the channels are measuring values at
opposite ends of the range. You can view up to four axes with
different ranges at a time.
