8.1How to change to a different scope device

Close PicoScope

Unplug the old scope device 68

Plug in the new scope device

Restart PicoScope

PicoScope will detect that the scope device has changed and will immediately start using the new scope device. If there is more than one scope device connected, the Open Device dialog 46 will appear to let you choose a scope.

8.2How to use rulers to measure a signal

Using a single ruler for signal-to-ground measurements

Look at the Channels toolbar to measure:

47

to find the colour code for the channel

68

you wish

Find the ruler handle (the small coloured square in the top-left or top-right corner of the scope view 14) of this colour:

Drag the ruler handle downwards. A signal ruler 17 (horizontal broken line) will appear across the scope view. Release the ruler handle when the ruler is where you want it.

Look at the ruler legend 13 (the small table that appears on the scope view). It should have a row marked by a small coloured square matching the colour of your ruler handle. The first column shows the signal level of the ruler.

Using two rulers for differential measurements

Follow the steps above for "using a single ruler".

Drag the second ruler handle of the same colour downwards until its ruler is at the signal level to be measured.

Look at the ruler legend 13 again. The second column now shows the signal level of the second ruler, and the third column shows the difference between the two rulers.
