Can an Oscilloscope Soundproof a Room?! | PicoBYTE #11

In this episode, we put a 40 kHz ultrasonic transceiver and a PicoScope to the test to see if we can detect - and maybe even fix - the sound leaks in our HR room. From screaming tests to cardboard "engineering," we’re measuring how sound travels (or doesn’t) through walls, vents, and windows. Watch as we: - Use ultrasonic signals to find air gaps - Measure signal strength using a spectrum analyzer - Discover just how bad a glass door really is - Try fixing it with a special material Is it scientific? Sort of. Is it ridiculous? Absolutely. Stick around to see the results... and if we survive the HR aftermath. 🌍Find out more about PicoScope 3000E here: https://www.picotech.com/oscilloscope/picoscope-3000e-series-500-mhz-5gs-digital-usb-oscilloscope ------------------------------------------------------- 🔽 Links 🔽 - PicoScope A-Z - https://www.picotech.com/library/a-to-z Newsletter - https://picotech.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f8f1e08332ca724b4d5d6afab&id=4f572f8087 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pico.technology/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/picotechnologyltd/ ------------------------------------------------------- #picoscope #oscilloscope #technology

When probing a signal using an oscilloscope, the standard choice of equipment is a probe with a crocodile clip. But this long ground clip can add extra inductive ringing to an otherwise fast edge signal. This video shows how to reduce this ringing when probing using a tool you might already have, and how much of an effect this can have on a fast edge signal. 🌍Check out the Pico MSO training and demo board here: https://www.picotech.com/accessories/mixed-signal-oscilloscope-training-and-demo-board 💡Check out the PicoConnect passive probes: https://www.picotech.com/accessories/5-ghz-low-capacitance-passive-oscilloscope-probes-for-rf-microwave-applications ------------------------------------------------------- 🔽 Links 🔽 - PicoScope A-Z - https://www.picotech.com/library/a-to-z Newsletter - https://picotech.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f8f1e08332ca724b4d5d6afab&id=4f572f8087 Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/pico.technology/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/picotechnologyltd/ ------------------------------------------------------- Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:25 Ground clip issues 0:59 Ground spring solution 1:25 Demo 1:52 Demo #1 long ground 2:10 Demo #2 Ground clip 2:20 Demo #3 Ground spring 2:36 Results 2:55 Alternative Probe 3:06 Outro ------------------------------------------------------- #picoscope #oscilloscope #technology

Python Programming with PicoVNA® 5 API | PicoVNA

PicoVNA 5 is a complete measurement solution that enables you to get the most out of your PicoVNA instrument. PicoVNA 5 includes a user interface that makes it quick and easy to collect measurements, and also a Software Development Kit (SDK) that enables you to embed the full power of the PicoVNA 5 software into your own application. APIs in many languages (including C++ and Python) are available as part of the SDK. In this video, Matthew demonstrates use of the SDK by showing how to control the PicoVNA instrument directly using the Python API. Matthew explains some of the key features of the API, shows how to set up a custom measurement, and demonstrates how to retrieve and process the data collected during that measurement. The cross-platform SDK comes with support for Windows, macOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi 4/5. A freely-available demonstration mode enables you to try out the full functionality of the SDK (and develop your new application) offline, without direct access to a PicoVNA instrument. 🌍 To get started using the PicoVNA 5 API, check out the code examples available on GitHub: https://github.com/picotech/picovna5-examples The code written during this video is available here: https://github.com/picotech/picovna5-examples/tree/master/api/python/video_example_1 ------------------------------------------------------- 🔽 Links 🔽 - PicoScope A-Z - https://www.picotech.com/library/a-to-z Newsletter - https://picotech.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=f8f1e08332ca724b4d5d6afab&id=4f572f8087 Instagram - https://instagram.com/lifeatpico Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/picotechnologyltd/ ------------------------------------------------------- #technology #picoVNA #picoVNA5 #RF

SDK based SCPI interface of real-world PicoVNA® measurement to your simulation environment

Retrieving data from the PicoVNA 5 software via SCPI is a common user application for anyone involved in RF simulation and modelling. This video demonstrates how quickly and easily the PicoVNA 5 software can be integrated into your application. The video starts by showing a simple model of an RF circuit, using emulated networks. We then use the PicoVNA 5 software to acquire real data for the networks, and show how this data can be substituted into the circuit model. 🌍To see the full power of SCPI in PicoVNA 5, please refer to the SCPI programming manual, available here: https://www.picotech.com/download/manuals/picovna-vector-network-analyser-picovna-5-users-guide.pdf The PicoVNA 5 software (including a demonstration version that can be used without a PicoVNA instrument) can be downloaded from: https://www.picotech.com/downloads?soft=t9 The code used during this video can be found on GitHub here: https://github.com/picotech/picovna5-examples/tree/master/scpi/python/video_example_1 ------------------------------------------------------- 🔽 Links 🔽 - PicoScope A-Z - https://www.picotech.com/library/a-to-z Newsletter - https://www.picotech.com/news Instagram - https://instagram.com/lifeatpico Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/picotechnologyltd/ ------------------------------------------------------- #technology #picoVNA #picoVNA5 #SDK

Rise / Fall advanced trigger introduction | PicoScope 7

Rise and Fall time advanced trigger enables engineers to isolate non-conforming / error conditions in an electronic design. Commonly used in high speed digital design where edge transitions have to be fast by design, but not too fast to cause lock-up or EMI issues. 🌍Find out more about rise/fall time triggering here: https://www.picotech.com/library/oscilloscopes/rise-fall-time-triggering ------------------------------------------------------- 🔽 Links 🔽 - PicoScope A-Z - https://www.picotech.com/library/a-to-z Newsletter - https://www.picotech.com/news Instagram - https://instagram.com/lifeatpico Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/picotechnologyltd/ ------------------------------------------------------- #picoscope #oscilloscope #technology

Soil Temperature Testing with the TC-08 Datalogger | World Soil Day 2023 🌱

Join us in raising awareness for World Soil Day and let us work together to nurture our planet. Check out this fun video experiment in our garden here at Pico HQ in Cambridgeshire. Using our TC-08 data logger with PicoLog 6 we're testing the temperature of the soil to highlight the crucial role it plays in our ecosystem. At Pico Technology, we've always championed environmental responsibility, but the recent IPCC and UN reports have underscored the urgency to do more. Taking inspiration from science and recognizing the imminent threats of climate change and biodiversity loss, we believe it's our responsibility to act now and make changes. Together, we can make a difference! 🌍Find out more about datalogging here: https://www.picotech.com/data-logger/tc-08/thermocouple-data-logger And more about what we're doing for the planet here: https://www.picotech.com/about/environment ------------------------------------------------------- 🔽 Links 🔽 - PicoScope A-Z - https://www.picotech.com/library/a-to-z Newsletter - https://www.picotech.com/news Instagram - https://instagram.com/lifeatpico Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/picotechnologyltd/ ------------------------------------------------------- #WorldSoilDay2023 #PicoTechnology #PicoScope #PiscoScope7 #TC08 #SustainableFuture #PicoLog #PicoLogcloud
