PicoScope 6 Software
Oscilloscope controls: Commonly-used 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.
Math 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 up
100 million, which is necessary when working with the deep
memory of the 3000 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 option.
