PicoScope should now display the voltage that you have connected. If you are using scope probes, when you touch the scope probe tip with your finger, you should see a small 50Hz mains signal on the screen. 5.3 Hardware 5.

pico ADC-100 user manual pico ADC-100 user manual The channel name will appear on parameter menus. The two lines of heading will appear in the headings of tabulation reports. The voltage range is the input voltage range for the ADC channel. The measurement mode can be one of ADC counts, Volts, AC volts, DC volts, frequency or dB. ADC counts and Volts are instantaneous measures: the others are based on a number of measurements dependent on the minumum frequency.
