PicoScope 9000 Series
These videos demonstrate some of the many features of the PicoScope 9000 Series of Sampling Oscilloscopes.
Latest features in PicoScope 6.6
This screencast showcases some of the new features available in PicoScope 6.6.
Viewing Waveforms in PicoScope 6
This video explores the different ways of arranging and displaying waveforms in PicoScope 6.
Basic Menu Overview
This four–part video introduces our PicoScope 6 software, and gives an overview of its main features and latest additions.
Triggering Menus
A demonstration of the triggering menus and basic trigger options such as pre, post and delay triggers in PicoScope 6.
Persistence Acquisition Mode
A short video which demonstrates how to capture intermittent events using Persistence Mode in PicoScope 6.
Advanced Trigger Modes
This video provides a walkthrough of the PicoScope 6 advanced triggering menu, using examples of runt pulses and pulse width triggers.
Trigger Mode Basics
In this video, PicoScope 6 basic trigger modes are described, plus an example of using the rapid trigger mode to reduce dead time between captures (trigger re–arm time).
Using and Defining Custom Probes
Learn how to define measurement units and axis scaling by adding custom probes.
Using the Logic Trigger
This video shows how to use logic triggering to acquire a specific 4–bit pattern using a four–channel PicoScope.
Using Resolution Enhancement
Improve the accuracy of your measurements by using scale, offset and resolution enhancement.
Using Deep Memory PicoScopes
Get the most out of your PicoScope’s deep memory; demonstrating segmented memory, long single captures of up to 1 GSamples and Rapid Trigger mode.
Capturing High–Speed Serial Data
Capturing and analysing high speed digital data requires careful considerations including choosing the correct termination, use of advanced triggers, and measuring jitter.
Spectrum Mode
In order to demonstrate FFT spectrum mode in PicoScope, the built–in AWG is used to generate a swept sine wave as the input.
Saving and Loading Waveforms and Setups
This video demonstrates how to save single and multiple waveform captures to disk and reload them, and how to save alternative setups.
Making Rise Time Measurements
This video explores different methods of measuring rise times using PicoScope 6.
Using the Maths Channel Feature
Discover how to create a maths channel using the built–in functions in PicoScope 6. The example includes creating a custom math function which subtracts a live signal from a saved reference signal to show the difference.
Saving Waveforms as Animated GIFs
This brief video shows how a series of captured waveforms can be saved as an animated GIF file and viewed using a browser.
Making Automated Measurements in Spectrum Mode
This video provides a brief demonstration of how to add and remove automated measurements in spectrum mode (frequency domain).
Making Automated Measurements in Scope Mode
This video provides a brief demonstration of how to add and remove automated measurements in scope mode (time domain).
Making SNR and THD Measurements
A short video describing how to make THD and SNR measurements of a sine wave in spectrum mode in PicoScope 6.
Measuring the Total Power of an RF Pulse
This videos demonstrates how to use the total power measurement on an RF pulse in spectrum mode.
Advanced Tools: Using Alarms
Continuing on from the mask test feature in PicoScope 6, this video shows how to use Alarms to stop on a mask failure.
Serial Decoding Basics in PicoScope 6 with I²C
In this detailed example the I²C protocol is used to demonstrate the different views, menus and features of serial decoding in PicoScope software.
Advanced Tools: Save on Trigger
This video demonstrates how to capture intermittent events using a combination of advanced triggers and the Save on Trigger feature which immediately saves the acquired waveform to your PC’s disk without stopping acquisition.
Serial Decoding of SPI Bus Signals
In this video the three–wire SPI bus signal is displayed and decoded using the serial decode feature in PicoScope 6.
Serial Decoding of UART–RS232
This videos shows how to capture and display ASCII characters from an RS232 bus.
Mask Limit Testing
This screencast shows how mask limit testing in PicoScope can be used to find glitches.
Serial Decoding of CAN Bus Signals
In this video the differential CAN bus signals are acquired and decoded using the serial decode feature in PicoScope 6.
CAN Bus Decoding
This screencast shows how PicoScope can be used to decode data from a serial bus. In this example the data from a CAN bus is decoded.
New Features in PicoScope 6.2.2
This screencast demonstrates several new features of PicoScope 6 including auto arrange axes, editable rulers and file formats.
