Fairport, NY, USA: Saelig Company, Inc. (www.saelig.com) announces the availability of Linux-based software for PicoScope PC-based oscilloscopes. PicoScope 6 For Linux is a powerful application that allows a PC to be connected to a PicoScope USB adapter to produce a high-powered oscilloscope, FFT spectrum analyzer and data acquisition device. With built-in buffering in the PicoScope adapter, the PC’s display is updated frequently and smoothly even when set on long timebases. Previously only available as Windows-based software, PicoScope 6 For Linux includes a wide range of standard oscilloscope features such as waveform display, spectrum display, interactive zoom, sophisticated triggering, automatic measurements, and signal generator control. Waveforms can be captured for off-line analysis or sharing with other users – or export them in text, CSV and Mathworks MATLAB 4 formats.
Pico Technology’s real time oscilloscopes are compact, economical USB adapters, available with bandwidths up to 1 GHz, with up to 4 input channels, hardware vertical resolution to 16 bits, sampling rates up to 5 GS/s, buffer sizes up to 2 GSa, and built-in signal generators. Other features available on some models include flexible hardware resolution, switchable bandwidth limiters, switchable high-impedance and 50 ohm inputs, and differential inputs. All of these adapters now run on Linux-based PicoScope 6 software. Large sections of the government and other institutions insist that, if a software has to be run on a computer, it must be run on Linux for security reasons.
The new PicoScope 6 For Linuxsoftware is packaged for easy installation on the following distributions:
- Debian 7.0 (wheezy) i386/amd64
