Linux-based Software Turns PCs into Oscilloscopes

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
Ubuntu 12.xx/13.xx i386/amd64
Any other Debian-based distribution with mono-runtime >= 2.10.8.1

PicoScope 6 For Linux is available free of charge from Pico Technology a http://www.picotech.com/linux.html.

All Pico products are available with a 5-year warranty starting from Saelig Company, Inc. their USA technical distributor. For detailed specifications, free technical assistance, or additional information, please contact Saelig 888-7SAELIG, via email: info@saelig.com, or visit www.saelig.com.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.

Enabling IoT with DECT NR+, the Non-Cellular 5G Standard

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Nordic Semiconductor

In the ever-expanding IoT market, there is a growing need for private, low cost networks. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Heidi Sollie from Nordic Semiconductor explore the details of DECT NR+, the world’s first non-cellular 5G technology standard. They investigate how this self-healing, decentralized, autonomous mesh network can help solve a variety of IoT connectivity issues and how Nordic is helping designers take advantage of DECT NR+ with their nRF91 System-in-Package family.
