ADC-10,12,40,42 User's Guide2

Introduction

The Pico ADC-10, ADC-12, ADC-40 and ADC-42 are medium-speed, single-channel,

analogue-to-digital converters.

All of these products can be used as virtual instruments (oscilloscope / spectrum

analyser) with the PicoScope program, or as a data logger using PicoLog. There are

also stand-alone programs to collect large blocks of data under Windows.

Alternatively, you can use the driver software to develop your own programs to

collect and analyse data from the unit (the same driver works for all units).

There are three differences between these products:

the ADC-10 and ADC-40 are 8-bit converters, and the ADC-12 and ADC-42 are

12-bit converters

the ADC-10 and ADC-12 accept 0 to +5 volts, whereas the ADC-40 and ADC-42

accept -5 to +5 volts

the ADC-40 and ADC-42 have an input impedance of 1 megohm, and so are

suitable for use with x10 scope probes. The ADC-10 and ADC-12 have a lower

input impedance, and will give misleading results if used with a x10 probe.

This manual describes the physical and electrical properties of the ADC-10/12/40/42,

and explains how to use the software drivers. Please refer to the documents listed

below for further information about other items.
