shows a summary of the settings that PicoScope 6 is using
The Properties sheet appears on the right-hand side of the PicoScope window.
No. samples. The number of samples
captured. This may be lower than the
number requested in the Maximum
Samples control. A number in brackets
is the number of interpolated samples
if interpolation is enabled.
Window. The window function applied
to the data before computing the
spectrum. This is selected in the
Spectrum options dialog.
Time gate. The number of samples
that PicoScope uses to compute a
spectrum is equal to twice the number
of bins. This number of samples is
expressed as a time interval called the
time gate. It is measured from the
start of the capture.
Res-Enhancement (resolution
enhancement). The number of bits,
including resolution enhancement,
selected in the Channel Options dialog.
Effective Res (effective resolution;
applies to Flexible Resolution
oscilloscopes only). PicoScope tries
to use the value specified by the
Hardware Resolution control in the
Capture Setup toolbar, but on some
voltage ranges the hardware delivers a
lower effective resolution. The
available resolutions are specified in
the data sheet for the scope device.
Capture rate. The number of
waveforms being captured per second.
Shown only in Persistence Mode.
