TDT applications with a PicoScope
9300 Sampling Oscilloscope
Controlled over USB from a single
PC, the PG900 Pulse Generators
can be used with a PicoScope 9300
Sampling Oscilloscope to measure
Time Domain Transmission with
those models that do not include
that function (PicoScope 9301,
9302, 9321 and 9341). They may
also add the versatility of a
remotely placed signal generator
for long line or installed system
testing with any of the PicoScope
9300 models.

TDR applications with a PicoScope
9300 Sampling Oscilloscope
Controlled over USB from a single PC,
the PG900 Pulse Generators can be used
with a PicoScope 9300 Sampling
Oscilloscope to realize Time Domain
Reflectometry with the models that do
not integrate that functionality
(PicoScope 9301, 9302, 9321 and 9341).

Pulse control PC software
The PicoSource PG900 Series generators are
USB controlled from a Microsoft Windows PC
running PicoSource PG900 software that is
provided with the product. This is a very
straightforward control application featuring a
helpful graphical display of the pulse, limits
and trigger settings as they are applied. Default
and User pulse settings can be saved for future
recall.
The pulse and trigger waveform displays can be
toggled between three timebase settings to
show the timing relationship of trigger and
pulse, the pulse period or the pulse train being
output.
