Using the PicoScope Built-in Waveform Generator

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Some PicoScope models come with a built-in arbitrary waveform generator. The signals generated by the scope can be used trigger or control external circuits, but you can also send the signal right back into the scope so that you can see your waveforms. This video explains how to do that.

    Thanks. Mine is only putting out 100mV signal when its set at 2V amplitude

    Hi Justin, how can i generate a single pulse? I mean just one pulse with a defined duration (for example 50 us)?

    Always interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing. As part of a diagnosis, do you ever use a generator signal as a replacement for a questionable sensor?

    With other waveform generators, I have. I have not done it with the PicoScope yet. This could work. However, the maximum voltage outputted by this waveform generator is 2 volts. That may or may not be enough to substitute for you sensor signal depending on the situation.

    Really neat! I did not know that a signal generator was even an option. I am really enjoying your Picoscope playlist! I have about 10 years experience in automotive repair and am looking to buy a Picoscope. Is there a big enough advantage to the 4425a to justify the price difference as compared to the 2204? Picoscope 6 vs Picoscope 6 automotive- what is the difference besides presets?

    Hello Bradley. Thanks for the feedback on the videos! If you plan to use your scope for automotive testing, there is a huge difference between the 2204A and the 4425A. The 2204A's are not very robust and have a low sampling rate. While you can make them work for automotive testing, everyone I know who purchased a 2204A has wanted to upgrade within a year because they either stopped working or were frustrated with the limitations. I would not hesitate at all to purchase a 4425A instead if you want something that will last a lifetime and capture quality waveforms. If you are only going to be doing light-duty electronic bench testing, the 2204A scope may be sufficient. I can actually help you with any questions you have about the scopes and possibly even get you a discount. I currently have a lightly used 2204A kit available. Feel free to visit my website, where you can send a message (www.catchawave.com) or call me at 208-538-1989. I hope that helps! Good luck! Justin

    Hello. Thanks for information. Can I generate cam and crank signals and test an ECU on the bench?

    This particular generator can create a repeating signal, but cannot replicate any patterns that are usually part of the cam or crank signals.

    Well if You click on the SAMPLES Burton in the Arbitrary Waveform Windows and put in 1010101010101010010101010101010 You can simulator a cranckshaft Hall sensor or anything else with a pulse pattern.
