Software configuration

Checking the installation

To check that the unit is working, start up the PicoScope program and then connect a
voltage source to the BNC connector. The ADC has the same connectors as an
oscilloscope, so you can use standard oscilloscope probes.

PicoScope should now display  the voltage that you have connected. If you are using
scope probes, when you touch the scope probe tip with your finger, you should see a
small 50 Hz or 60 Hz signal on the screen.

If you have connected the ADC to a printer port other than the port specified when
you installed the software, you will need to go to the Setup panel and then change the
port number to the appropriate value (USB port numbers begin with USB-PPx.  If you
have more than one USB parallel port, they will be numbered according to the order
they are plugged into the PC).  You will need to exit and re-enter the software to
activate the change.

Safety warning

We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below before
using your product for the first time. If the equipment is not used in the manner
specified, then the protection provided may be impaired. This could result in damage
to your computer and/or injury to yourself or others.

Maximum input range

The ADC-100 is designed to measure voltages in the range of -20V to +20V. Any
voltages in excess of ±100V may cause permanent damage to a unit.

Mains voltages

Pico products are not designed for use with mains voltages. To measure mains we
recommend the use of a differential isolating probe specifically designed for such
measurements.

Safety grounding

The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of your computer via
the interconnecting cable provided. This is done to minimise interference. If the PC
(especially laptops) is not grounded, reading stability cannot be guaranteed and it
may be necessary to manually ground the equipment.

As with most oscilloscopes and data loggers, you should take care to avoid connecting
the inputs of the product to any equipment which may be at an unsuitable voltage. If
in doubt, use a meter to check that there is no hazardous AC or DC voltage. Failure to
check may cause damage to the product and/or computer and could cause injury to
yourself or others.

Take great care when measuring temperatures near mains equipment. If a sensor is
accidentally connected to mains voltages, you risk damage to the converter or your
computer and your computer chassis may become live.

You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth. Incorrect
configuration and/or use on voltages outside the maximum input range can be
hazardous.
