Overlay, and Ignition firing line parade pattern

Hi Tom, 
Is there an overlay feature in the pico 6 release?


How can you manipulate the scope to show the firing line of 8 cyl engine side by side,  like an ignition scope?
Can you open 8 scope windows and zoom in on each firing line, with a fast sample rate, or is there an easier way.

Hello Smitty

I am not Tom but currently the only viable way to view several cylinders is a parade pattern.  There was a composite option in the early releases of pico 6 but I believe overlay was not one of them and it was not a live option. Composite with overlay is still available in pico 5 but the triggers of the different captures need to be the same.

There are a couple of options running a trigger to stabilize it on the screen its possible to run zoom while live its also possible to run two scope windows and run different view (zoomed/not zoomed) but not at different time bases.

The disadvantage to this if the engine speed changes the pattern moves.  There has been discussion of pico adding raster and superimposed but I doubt it will be any time soon.

Smitty,

Sam pretty much covered it. 

Picoscope operational questions and techniques are best posted in the private Picogroup areas.  There, we can answer your questions more completely.
