7.12Demo Signals toolbar

The Demo Signals toolbar allows you to set up test signals, so that you can experiment with PicoScope when no scope device is connected. To use this feature, close PicoScope, unplug all scope devices and then restart PicoScope. The program will prompt you to select a Demo device using the Open Device dialog 46.

The toolbar contains the following buttons.

When you click this button, you will see a drop-down list of all the available channels. Click one of the channels to open the Demo Signals dialog 59, which will allow you to set up that channel.

7.12.1Demo Signals dialog

This dialog controls one channel of the demo signal generator, a feature of PicoScope that creates a variety of test signals to simulate a scope device. Open it by clicking the Demo Signals button on the Demo Signals toolbar 59 and then selecting a channel. It is available only when you start PicoScope without having a scope device 68 connected to your computer, and then select a scope device type of "Demo" in the Open Device dialog 46.

Signal On: Tick this box to enable the demo signal generator.

Frequency: Type your desired frequency in hertz here, or use the spin

buttons.

Amplitude: Type your desired amplitude in millivolts here, or use the spin buttons.

Offset: Enter a number here to add a d.c. offset to the demo signal. By default, the demo signals have a mean value of zero volts.

Where to find it

Click the Demo Signals button on the Demo Signals toolbar 59. You must have previously selected a "Demo" scope device 68 type in the Open Device dialog 46.
