Improved PC-based data logging software works with USB data loggers

September 17, 2019 By Lee Teschler 2 Comments

PicoLog 6 is a complete data acquisition software package. It provides a visual, easy-to-use interface for users to quickly set up simple or complex acquisitions, record, view and analyze data. Features include:

Real-time data collection and displaypicoscope
Visual logger and channel setup for easy configuration and viewing
Available for Windows 7, 8 and 10 (32 and 64-bit), macOS and Linux
Virtually unlimited logging capacity to a PC
Robust database format minimizes data loss and corruption
Simple and complex programmable alarms
​Channels can be scaled using a lookup table or equation
Up to four independent graph axes
Data can be exported as CSV, clipboard image and PDF
Supports multiple different PicoLog data loggers and PicoScope oscilloscopes on the same PC

New features and enhancements have been added to PicoLog 6.1.12:

Added support for PicoScope 6000 series oscilloscopes
Update all drivers and kernel drivers to the latest versions

PicoLog 6 allows you to use your PicoScope as a long term logging device just like a data logger. You get all the advantages of being able to use multiple loggers and scopes simultaneously, up to 320 channels at once! You can even use you PicoScope 6000 with PicoLog 6 on a RaspberryPi now!

There are some limitations of course. PicoLog 6 is, after all, refined for acquiring data in large multi-device/multi-channel setups where sampling speed is slow relative to oscilloscopes. As a consequence, the maximum sample rate is limited to 1 kS/sec per channel to maintain database reliability.

    PC based datalogging and oscilloscopes are of good interest to us
