PicoLog data acquisition software is a
powerful but flexible program for collecting, analysing and displaying
data. PicoLog can be used with the following product ranges:
- Data acquisition / data logging
products
- Oscilloscope products (for high
speed data acqusition / logging)
- Temperature and humidity converters
and loggers.
Some of the features of PicoLog are
listed here. To see for yourself just how good it is,

Multiple views

PicoLog displays data in a number of views,
which can be activated as and when required. These views can be activated
both during and after data collection.
Program modes

PicoLog for Windows works in two modes:
player mode for displaying previously recorded data and recorder mode for
recording new data. You can have more than one copy of PicoLog for Windows
running at once, so you can use the player to analyse old data whilst
recording new data.
PicoLog can collect data from multiple
converters at the same time. This not only allows a mix of voltage input
units to be used on the same PC, but also allows other PC based instruments
such as the TC-08 (temperature measurement) and the ADC-200 oscilloscope to
be used at the same time.
Exporting Data
Data can easily be transferred (either as
graphs or raw data) to other Windows applications by using the clipboard
(copy and paste). Graphs can also be saved to disk (as Windows Metafiles)
and data from the spreadsheet can be saved in text format. Current readings
can be transferred using Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE). PicoLog also supports
IP networking so it is possible to transfer measurements from a remote site
via an existing LAN, company network, or even over the Internet.
Useful Features

Parameter Scaling can be used to
convert raw data into standard engineering units. A wide range of
equation and table lookup scaling options are provided.
Additional parameters can be
calculated, for example to calculate power output from a boiler you may
need to multiply a flow reading from one channel with the temperature
difference between two further channels.
Alarm Limits can be set for each
channel to alert the user should a parameter go out of a specified
range.
PicoLog data acquisition software
supports
IP
Networking. This enables remote data collection from Pico’s full
range of data acquisition products.

DOS Software
A
DOS
version of PicoLog is also supplied, but this has limited
functionality in comparison to the Windows version. |
