PicoScope 7 SoftwareManufacturer: Pico Technology FREE
PicoScope 7 builds on the success of market-leading PicoScope 6 software and takes advantage of the latest PC and display technologies. PicoScope 7 boasts a range of enhanced features and functionality making it the ideal choice for engineers and technicians looking for precise, reliable and easy-to-use tools for their test and measurement needs. PicoScope 7 is available for Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. All current PicoScope models, from the entry-level 2000 Series through to the high performance 6000E Series are supported, as are legacy PicoScope models dating back a decade or more. The software is free of charge for all PicoScope users. PicoScope7 turns your PC into a powerful PC oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer, with all the features and performance of a benchtop oscilloscope at a fraction of the cost. Benefits include fast capture rates, fast data processing, clear graphics and text, touchscreen support, frequent free-of-charge updates and the ability to easily save, print and share your data.
Some key features of the software: Scope, spectrum and XY views, show data in both time and frequency domains at once. View and analyze your data in the frequency domain with a fully optimized spectrum analyzer. Signal generator for oscilloscopes with a built-in arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Advanced triggering includes options for pulse, window, digital and logic triggers. Real-time serial decoding supports up to 16 different protocols, with color-coded packet fields. Math channels let you display mathematical functions of input channels. Persistence mode superimposes new waveforms on old, making glitches and dropouts stand out. Add, remove and edit a range of automatic measurements in both time and frequency domains. Set up mask limit testing to see when a signal goes out of bounds. Identify waveform glitches and mask test failures by searching with the buffer overview. Use rapid trigger mode to capture a sequence of waveforms with the minimum possible dead time. (While there is no PicoScope 7 User Guide – there is one for Version 6, which covers a lot of PicoScope 7 ground.) PicoScope 7 features a range of intuitive tools that streamline workflows and boost productivity, including: • Comprehensive views to visualize deep memory captures in both time and frequency domains • Touchscreen support for a more interactive and immersive experience • Advanced triggers to capture anomalies and glitches with ease • Automated measurements for common waveform parameters • Over 30 serial protocol decoders (free of charge) including the latest I3C and CAN XL standards • Event-driven actions for mask fails, triggers and more • The DeepMeasure™ function for analysis of waveform parameters on up to a million cycles with each triggered acquisition • Advanced math channels, including filters, trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms, statistics, integrals and derivatives • Waveform math for real-time comparisons with historical peak, averaged or filtered waveforms. Additional features: Rise/Fall time triggering - this allows users to capture and analyze signals based on their transition times, specifically the time it takes for a signal to change from a certain voltage level to another. It can be set to trigger on a rising or a falling edge. Trigger controls are used to set upper and lower threshold voltages, the transition time and whether to trigger when the signal edge transitions in greater or less than a specified time, or inside or outside a range of times. Measurements Logging provides automatic measurement of 24 time-domain and ten frequency-domain parameters. Statistics, calculated over many acquisitions can be used to show average, mean and standard deviation of those parameters for the duration of a test. Statistics provide insight into the repeatability of waveform characteristics, which help to confirm reliability and performance characteristics of an electronic design before committing to production. But taken alone, they do not reveal much about the characteristics of long-term drift or response to changing operational conditions such as supply voltage, temperature etc. PicoScope 7 now facilitates the logging of automatic oscilloscope measurements directly to a .CSV file on the host computer. This feature enables engineers to test their designs over extended durations and view the impact of variables such as supply voltage range, clock frequency stability, temperature drift and others over time. Measurements Limits & Actions builds on the standard automated measurements system by enabling the result of any measurement to be automatically tested against an upper or lower measurement limit defined by the user. An Action, also defined by the user, can be programmed to execute on violation of the test. Actions include: Beep, Play Sound, Stop Capture, Restart Capture, Run Executable, Save Current Buffer, Save All Buffers, Trigger the Signal Generator / AWG PSI5 Decoder addresses the evolving needs of the automotive industry to optimize sensor performance and reliability. PSI5 is a widely used protocol in automotive sensor applications. PicoScope 7 is available to download free of charge and is compatible with all current PicoScope models and many legacy models.
