PicoScope 3000 Series
PicoScope 6 software
The PicoScope software 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 four live channels, plus math channels and
reference waveforms.
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.
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 in dedicated
spectrum mode.
Automatic measurements: Display
calculated measurements for trouble-
shooting 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.
Ruler legend: Absolute and
differential ruler measurements
are listed here.
Channel options: Set axis offset and scaling,
DC offset, zero offset, resolution enhancement,
custom probes, and filtering here.
Rulers: Each axis has two rulers that can
be dragged across the screen to make
quick measurements of amplitude, time and
frequency.
Function generator: Generates standard signals or arbitrary
waveforms. Includes frequency sweep mode.
Auto setup button:
Configures the timebase
and voltage ranges for
stable display of signals.
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.
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 the marker to adjust trigger level and
pre-trigger time.
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.
Views: PicoScope is carefully designed to make
the best use of the display area. The waveform
view is much bigger and higher resolution than a
typical benchtop scope. You can add new scope and
spectrum views with automatic or custom layouts.
