Pico Technology Launches Application Programming Interface for PicoScope 5000 PC Oscilloscopes
Related Searches
St Neots, Cambridge, UK (PRWEB) June 23, 2007 -- Pico Technology, worldwide leaders in the design and manufacture of PC Oscilloscopes, have just launched an Application Programming Interface for the PicoScope 5000 series scopes to allow you to write your own software for the devices.
The PicoScope 5000 series PC Oscilloscopes are Pico's top-performing scopes, with the world's fastest real-time sampling rate, for a USB PC scope, of 1 GS/s. This, together with a probe-tip bandwidth of 250 MHz, makes them ideal for use with high-speed analogue and digital signals. The scope's huge memory buffer -- either 32 M or 128 M samples depending on the version -- ensures that the high sampling rate can be used on a wide range of timebases without losing detail.
The new Application Programming Interface (API) lets you go beyond the features of the PicoScope 6 software to build your own high-speed data acquisition applications based on the PicoScope 5000 scopes. Using the high-speed streaming mode built in to the driver, you can log data at up to 6 million samples per second directly to disk, or you can use block mode to capture data within the scope at the full 1 GS/s rate. You can also control the scope's built-in Arbitrary Waveform Generator and set up advanced triggering modes such as pulse-width and interval triggers.
The API functions are exported in standard C format, which is recognised by most programming languages including C, C++, Visual Basic, Delphi and LabView. Programming examples are provided for all these languages, and the whole package can be downloaded free of charge from the Pico website as part of the PicoScope 6 software.
Alan Tong, Managing Director of Pico Technology, said "Our PicoScope 5000 series scopes are already leading the PC Oscilloscope market, but we want to take them further. By releasing this API, we are giving our customers the ability to build their own custom software based on our products."
The PicoScope 5000 series API is available now for download from the Pico Technology website or call Pico on +44 (0) 1480 396 395 for more details.

VB Development and Its Important Features
Visual basic is a programming language which has the flexibility to develop fairly complex applications. It enables programmers to create simple GUI applications easily. VB is also considered a relatively easy to learn and use programming language, because of its graphical development features and BASIC tradition. VB programming is a combination of visually arranging components on a form. Visual Basic can create executables (EXE files) and DLL files, but it is primarily used to develop Windows applications and to interface web database systems.

Identity Theft Prevention with a Firewall
A firewall can be either a hardware product or software program that is designed to prevent outsiders from accessing your computer or network, and in some cases used to prevent applications already located on your computer from accessing the Internet in order to transmit back to a host. These applications can be understood as having a Server/Client relationship. The program that is installed on your computer can be referred to as the client, and when the client attains the information that it was designed to acquire, it connects to the Server to transmit the data.

Hot or Not? Developing applications with Java programming
Java is a general purpose programming language similar to C++ and was developed by Sun Microsystems to take advantage of the flourishing World Wide Web. Java programming language is well designed to develop effective web based applications and offers many advantages over other languages like C++. Technically, Java source code files (.java files) are compiled into bytecode (.class files). This complied java code is then executed by a Java interpreter. Since Java interpreters and Runtime environments called Java Virtual Machines exist for most operating systems (Windows OS, UNIX and Macintosh), you can run java based applications on almost every computer!
Importance of Coding Standards
Programming Help for BeginnersWe write programs to instruct computers. When programming using a high level programming language like C++ or Java, we are using a syntax that is somewhat closer to human languages.
Types Of Software
Basically all of the virtual components contained within your computer are software programs. Software can essentially be defined as a set of coded commands that are sent to and executed by your computer, which consequently carries out the tasks the software desires of it. The commands or rules, as they are sometimes called, govern the operation of the computer and the programs running on the computer at any one time. Each program installed on your computer contains some coded material, which the computer reads and carries out the commands you desire while you are utilizing the program.
