PicoScope 6 Software
Oscilloscope controls: Controls such as voltage range, scope
resolution, 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.
Maths channels: Combine input channels and reference
waveforms using simple arithmetic, or create custom
equations with trigonometric and other functions.
Views: PicoScope is carefully designed to make the best use of
the display area. You can add new scope and spectrum views with
automatic or custom layouts.
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.
Rulers: Each axis has two rulers that can be dragged across the
screen to make quick measurements of amplitude, time
and frequency.
Channel options: Filtering, offset,
resolution enhancement, custom probes
and more.
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.
Trigger toolbar:
Quick access to
main controls,
with advanced
triggers in a
pop-up window.
Trigger marker: Drag
to adjust trigger level
and pre-trigger time.
Auto setup button: Configures
the timebase and voltage ranges
for stable display of signals.
PicoScope: the display can be as simple or as complex as
you need. Begin with a single view of one channel, and then
expand the display to include any number of live channels,
math channels and reference waveforms.
Zoom and pan tools: PicoScope allows a zoom factor of
several million, which is necessary when working with the deep
memory of the 5000 Series scopes. Either use the zoom-in,
zoom-out and pan tools, or click and drag in the zoom overview
window for fast navigation.
Signal generator: Generates standard signals or (on selected
scopes) arbitrary waveforms. Includes frequency sweep mode.
