Pico Technology has launched the latest update to its PicoScope software, version 7.2, bringing substantial improvements to waveform capture and measurement accuracy. These advancements are designed to streamline the operation of PicoScope instruments, making them more efficient and user-friendly.
The update draws from user feedback and the innovative efforts of Pico Technology’s engineering team, addressing practical hurdles in electronic testing and measurement. According to Trevor Smith, Product Manager at Pico Technology, “PicoScope 7.2 is our early Christmas present to users globally. We’ve incorporated community insights to transform laborious tasks into immediate insights.”
The introduction of Waveform Overlays allows users to view multiple waveform captures in a single display, effectively creating a visual envelope of a signal’s normal behaviour. This feature aids in identifying intermittent glitches and anomalies, offering unparalleled clarity in signal integrity analysis.
The Advanced Serial Filtering tool significantly reduces the time needed to sift through extensive serial data captures. Users can now set filters to pinpoint specific packets or data types, enhancing efficiency across all 40 supported serial protocols.
PicoScope 7.2 also introduces Measurement Indicators, which provide clear visual markers on waveforms. These markers highlight the precise decision points used in automatic measurement calculations, eliminating guesswork and ensuring measurement confidence.
Time-stamping capabilities have been enhanced, allowing for precise Trigger Timestamps on PicoScope 3000E and 6000E Series. This enables high-resolution delay measurement between events, with timestamps exportable to a .csv file for comprehensive reporting.
Additional workflow improvements include a refined Pass/Fail limit system, Channel Deskew for timing compensation, and a Factory Reset button for restoring default settings. PicoScope 7.2 is available as a free update for all users on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
