PicoScope 6 Software
Oscilloscope controls: Controls such as voltage range, channel
enable, timebase and memory depth are placed on the toolbar for
quick access, leaving the main display area clear for waveforms.
Movable axes: The vertical
axes can be dragged up
and down. This feature is
particularly useful when
one waveform is obscuring
another. There’s also an Auto
Arrange Axes command.
Zoom overview:
Click and drag for
quick navigation
in zoomed views.
Spectrum view:
View FFT data
alongside scope view
or independently.
Ruler legend: Absolute and differential
ruler measurements are listed here.
Tools > Serial decoding: Decode multiple serial
data signals and display the data alongside the physical
signal or as a detailed table.
Tools > Reference channels: Store waveforms in
memory or on disk and display them alongside live
inputs. Ideal for diagnostics and production testing.
Tools > Masks: Automatically generate a test mask
from a waveform or draw one by hand. PicoScope
highlights any parts of the waveform that fall outside
the mask and shows error statistics.
Waveform replay tools: PicoScope automatically records up to
10,000 of the most recent waveforms. You can quickly scan through
to look for intermittent events, or use the Buffer Navigator to
search visually.
Channel options: Set axis offset and scaling,
DC offset, zero offset, resolution enhancement,
custom probes, and filtering here.
Trigger toolbar:
Quick access to
main controls,
with advanced
triggers in a
pop-up window.
Auto setup button: Configures
the timebase and voltage ranges
for stable display of signals.
PicoScope: The display can be as simple or as detailed as you
need. Begin with a single view of one channel, and then expand
the display to include up to eight live channels, math channels
and reference waveforms.
Automatic measurements:
Display calculated measurements
for troubleshooting and analysis.
You can add as many measurements
as you need on each view. Each
measurement includes statistical
parameters showing its variability.
Rulers: Each axis has two rulers that can be dragged across
the screen to make quick measurements of amplitude, time
and frequency.
Signal generator: Generates standard signals or arbitrary
waveforms. Includes frequency sweep mode.
Views: PicoScope is carefully designed to make the best use of
the display area. The waveform view is much bigger and of a higher
resolution than with a typical benchtop scope. You can add new
scope and spectrum views with automatic or custom layouts.
Zoom and pan tools: PicoScope makes it easy to zoom into large
waveforms. Either use the zoom-in, zoom-out and pan tools, or
click and drag in the Zoom Overview window for fast navigation.
Trigger marker: Drag
to adjust trigger level
and pre-trigger time.
