Example
1. Call
with
range
set to
PS2000_1V
.
2. Apply a sine wave input of
500 mV amplitude to the
oscilloscope.
3. Capture some data using
4. The data will be encoded
as shown opposite.
2.4
Triggering
PicoScope 2000 Series PC Oscilloscopes can either start collecting data immediately, or be
programmed to wait for a
trigger
event to occur. In both cases you need to use the
function or, for scopes that support advanced triggering, the
ps2000SetAdvTriggerChannelConditions
and related functions. A trigger event can
occur on any of the conditions available in the simple and advanced triggering modes.
Applicability
and
ps2000SetAdvTriggerChannelConditions
The triggering methods available for your oscilloscope are listed in the data sheet. Where
available, the pulse width, delay and drop-out triggering methods additionally require the use of
the pulse width qualifier function,
.
2.5
Signal generator
The PicoScope 2203, 2204(A) and 2205(A) PC Oscilloscopes have a built-in
signal
generator
, which is set up using
. You can also use this
signal generator to output arbitrary waveforms, using
Applicability
PicoScope 2203, 2204(A) and 2205(A) oscilloscopes only.
2.6
AC/DC coupling
Using the
function, each channel can be set to either
AC
or
DC
coupling. When AC coupling is used, any component of the signal below about 1 Hz is filtered
out.
