1.5.3 Operation
To use the ADC-100/101, you should connect the D-connector on
the ADC-100/101 to the printer port on your computer using the
cable provided. Next, connect a voltage source to one or both of
the BNC connectors. The ADC-100/101 has the same connectors
as an oscilloscope, so you can use standard oscilloscope probes.
The input impedance is also the same, so the x10 function on a
scope probe works correctly.
The ADC-100 has a switch next to each BNC connector: with the
switch down, the unit can measure DC voltages on the BNC next
to it. With the switch up, it measures only AC voltages. The
ADC101 does not have such switches and is DC coupled only.
To check that the unit is working, start up the PicoScope program.
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 50/60Hz
mains signal on the screen.
