  • Page 3: Introduction

    ADC-10/12/40/42 user manual 1 Introduction The PICO ADC-10, ADC-12, ADC-40 and ADC-42 are very compact single channel analog to digital converters The units are supplied with a range of ready-to-use Virtual Instrument and data logging software: alternatively, you can use the ADC driver software to develop your own programs to collect and analyse data from the unit.

  • Page 4: Safety Warning

    2 Safety warning For all Pico ADCs, the ground input (BNC outer shell) is connected directly to the ground of your computer. This is done in order to minimise interference. As with most oscilloscopes, you should take care not to connect the ground input of the ADC to anything which may be at some voltage other than ground: doing so may cause damage to the ADC.

    Windows that take you, step by step, through the process of setting up the software. The Windows software creates a program group for Pico software and help files: if you wish to use any part of the software under Windows, you should therefore use the Windows installation program.

  • Page 8: Operation

    THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR THE ADC-10 AND ADC-12. To check that the unit is working, start up the PicoScope program.

  • Page 9: Scaling

    If, however, you use the drivers, it is necessary to convert the readings within your program. The ADC-10 is an 8-bit unipolar analog to digital converter. This means that it produces values in the range 0 to 255 to represent voltages between 0 and 5 volts.
