1.6 Operation
To use the ADC, you should connect the ADC to the printer port on
your computer, either directly or using a good quality extension cable.
Next, connect a voltage source to the BNC connector. The ADC has
the same connectors as an oscilloscope, so you can use standard
oscilloscope probes.
The ADC-40 and ADC-42 have
oscilloscope, so the x10 function on a scope probe will give the
expected result. THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR THE ADC-10 AND ADC-12.
To check that the unit is working, start up the PicoScope program.
PicoScope should now display the voltage that you have connected.
If you are using scope probes, when you touch the scope probe tip
with your finger, you should see the a small 50Hz mains signal on the
screen.
