The PicoScope 6 beta software continues to evolve. We are all spoiled and impatiently waiting for new developments.
When I try to describe some of the new superpowers we are enjoying, I am often met with that deer in the headlights look of disbelief. It's only a natural reaction to a company that has broken new ground and done things that have not been done before.
The following pictures illustrate some of these powers that PicoScope 6 has brought to the 3000 series automotive scopes.. These are from a single screen capture by a tech in the field (thanks Wilf) on a real application...2001 Infiniti QX4 3.5. No smoke and mirrors here. Any tech can do this.
The 10 second screen has collected 2 million samples per channel for each of four channels running. Sample interval is 5 microseconds. 32 of these screens could have been recorded in a scrolling buffer for over 5 minutes.
At this setting, PicoScope is sampling 10 to 20 times faster on each of four channels than the next most powerful automotive scopes can achieve running a single channel with the same capture time. :o
And the software is still beta..... [smiley=disimulo.gif]
Here is the system diagram:
And the capture:
