PERSISTANCE DISPLAY MODE FOR PC SCOPE RANGE.

Saelig Company announces new multicycle persistence display modes and single cycle filtering to all 10 of its range of Pico Technology PC-based oscilloscopes.

Fairport NY: Saelig Company announces new multicycle persistence display modes and single cycle filtering to all 10 of its range of Pico Technology PC-based oscilloscopes. These new features will greatly improve test and measurement situations in all fields of engineering.

The new display modes are available free of charge in the latest version of PicoScope - Pico's popular combined oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer and meter software - and can be downloaded from the company's website. The five new multicycle persistence display modes are: digital color persistence; analog intensity; average; min, max and current; and min, max and average.
All display modes provide enhanced representations of how signals change with respect to time/conditions and help the user to identify trends. The addition of these display modes boosts the performance of PicoScope software running on PCs connected to any of Picos scope and spectrum analyzer products -- even those already in the field. Free to download from our web site, PicoScope now has the display features you'd expect to find only on top-end, bench-top DSOs.

The digital color mode is ideal for spotting intermittent glitches in digital signals. Densely populated areas of the trace are colored red (hot) and sparsely populated areas of the trace are colored blue (cold).
The analog intensity mode emulates the phosphor display of a conventional analog oscilloscope and is useful for displaying complex analog signals (such as video waveforms and analog modulation signals).
Average mode shows the average of all cycles, which is useful for removing random noise from the current trace.
Using the min, max and current mode a shaded area represents the range (minimum and maximum) of all cycles. The trace within the shaded area is the current signal.
This mode is ideal for measuring the time jitter of signals such as clock waveforms.
Using the min, max and average mode a shaded area represents the range (minimum and maximum) of all cycles. The trace within the shaded area represents the average.
As with average mode, random noise has been removed.

Because PicoScope is a PC-based soft (or 'virtual') instrument, it makes full use of the PC's large color display - making the viewing of traces far easier than with traditional bench-top oscilloscopes (which tend to have small CRT or LCD displays).
Screen shots can easily be captured in PicoScope and saved to disk - for use in reports/manuals or for sending to colleagues.

In addition to the five multicycle persistence modes, PicoScope's single-cycle operation now includes a filtered mode that removes high-frequency noise. This is very useful for viewing the real signal in the presence of interference.

Available immediately, PicoScope software is available at no charge with every Pico product from their USA agents Saelig Co. Inc. NY 585-425-3753; 585-425-3835fax; saelig@aol.com; www.saelig.com).
