Forbidding and remote, the South Pole is also a uniquely and enormously valuable research site. The National Science Foundation (NSF), as manager of the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP), supports a wide variety of projects there, from cosmic observations to seismic and atmospheric studies. The following are only a few examples.

Science has been integral to the mission of South Pole Station since the first station was erected over the Southern Hemisphere summer of 1956-57. In some cases, records from the South Pole are among the longest continuous observational data sets available, including, for example, the record of carbon dioxide and other atmospheric gases in the air at the Pole.
In addition to NSF, other U.S. government agencies including NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) also fund researchers at the pole. And, in keeping with the cooperative spirit of the Antarctic Treaty, scientists come to the pole from nations around the globe to pursue a host of interests.

Sitting at a fixed point while the Earth rotates, telescopes at the pole can track celestial objects for long periods of time from the same elevation in the sky. For many years, the equipment there was used to make long, continuous solar observations—some lasting more than 100 hours.

The extremely dry, cold air is also perfectly suited for observing the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation—the faint light signature left by the Big Bang that brought the universe into being nearly 14 billion years ago. The pattern of these ancient photons reveals the contents and structure of the infant cosmos. Astrophysicists know that the universe has been expanding since the Big Bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago. In the late 1990s, astronomers using exploding stars as cosmic tape measures discovered that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. This led them to the idea that Dark Energy pushes the universe apart, overwhelming gravity, the attractive force exerted by all matter in the universe.

In 2007, the massive South Pole Telescope--the largest radio telescope ever built in Antarctica—collected its first observations and has since been gathering data about the accelerating expansion of the Universe. The $19.2 million telescope was funded primarily by the National Science Foundation (NSF), with additional support from the Kavli Foundation of Oxnard, Calif., and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation of San Francisco.

The telescope stands 75 feet (22.8 meters) tall, measures 33 feet (10 meters) across and weighs 280 tons (254 metric tons). It was assembled in Kilgore, Texas, then taken apart, shipped across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand, and flown from there to the South Pole. For more information about the South Pole Telescope, its science mission and its findings to date, see http://pole.uchicago.edu/.

The man standing next to the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT) provides a perspective to the size of this enormous project. The SPT collects data on cosmic microwave background radiation and Dark Matter.

See Photo Gallery Caption & credit

If the South Pole telescope is examining the universe on the galactic scale, another relatively new and equally impressive observatory is searching for evidence of the existence of particles at the subatomic level.

Built into the ice sheet, the one-cubic-kilometer IceCube Neutrino Observatory records the rare collisions of neutrinos--elusive sub-atomic particles--with the atomic nuclei of the water molecules of the ice. Some neutrinos come from the sun, while others come from cosmic rays interacting with the Earth's atmosphere and dramatic astronomical sources such as exploding stars in the Milky Way and other distant galaxies. Trillions of neutrinos stream through the human body at any given moment, but they rarely interact with regular matter, and researchers want to know more about them and where they come from.

In December of 2010, the last of 86 holes had been drilled and a total of 5,160 optical sensors had been installed to form the main IceCube detector, culminating a decade of planning, innovation and testing, construction. This landmark brought to a close one of the most ambitious and complex multinational scientific construction projects ever attempted. NSF contributed $242 million toward the total project cost of $279 million.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, as the lead U.S. institution for the project. In addition to researchers at universities and research labs in the U.S., Belgium, Germany and Sweden--the countries that funded the observatory--IceCube data are analyzed by the larger IceCube Collaboration, which also includes researchers from Barbados, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. For more information, visit the IceCube Web site at http://www.icecube.wisc.edu

Air and Ozone
The pristine quality of the air at the pole makes it an ideal benchmark for changes in the quality and composition of the atmosphere elsewhere. Such data has been collected since NOAA established its South Pole Observatory during the 1957-58 International Geophysical Year (IGY)—one of the longest continuous records in atmospheric science.

Other atmospheric research at the pole includes releasing balloons to monitor the condition of the Earth's protective ozone layer. Data from these studies helps keep track of how well international treaties, aimed at curbing the use of harmful chemicals, are working to heal the seasonal hole in the ozone layer. To view recent and past ozone data collected by the balloons, visit the NOAA Global Monitoring Division Web site at http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/obop/spo/

Seismic Science
Eight kilometers (five miles) from Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, scientists supported by USGS and others are recording shudders from earthquakes around the world. Seismographs have been operating at the pole since IGY, and data from high-latitude seismograph stations has helped to prove that the Earth's solid inner core spins at a slightly faster rate than the rest of the planet.

One of the newest stations in the Global Seismograph Network (GSN) is called SPRESO: South Pole Remote Earth Science Observatory. Operated by the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology, a research consortium of 100 universities, it is the quietest seismic listening post on the planet. It employs instruments installed roughly 300 meters (1000 feet) beneath the surface of the continental East Antarctic ice sheet to recorded seismic waves that ring through the globe like vibrations in a struck bell. Further information about GSN is available at http://www.usgs.gov/features/south_pole/

Off-World Simulations
Even the relentless wind that carries and drifts snow across the Antarctic plateau, while a continual obstacle for designers of the new station, is beneficial to scientists. In 2004, the Tumbleweed Rover, a product of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, left South Pole station on a 70-kilometer (40-mile), wind-driven trek across Antarctica. The test was designed to confirm the rover's long-term durability in an extremely cold environment, with an eye toward eventually using the devices to explore the Martian polar caps and other planets in the solar system. Further information about Tumbleweed's trek across the Antarctic plateau is available in NSF press release 04-024 at http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=100342&org=NSF&from=news

This is a natural untreated rough specimen from the Quartz mine in Queensland that was mined over 30 years ago.This is opal that has formed in the biscut [sandstone] band.There will be some faults in the stone due to its age but the area is known for the amount of silica in the sandstone which will take a decent may have to leave some pit holes in the stone but it will be a rewarding experience for you.

I dont believe any more mining has been done in this area so it will make a interesting stone.

View Full Version : LRP -- What is the Blending Factor operand?

08-27-2005, 12:42 PM
I read that LRP takes three operands. Two operands are the values to interpolate between. The remaining operand is a "blending factor". Its been years since I've looked at a math book. I can't even think of what that other operand might do. Is it some sort of bias value to shift the result toward one or the other of the two values being interpolated between?

08-27-2005, 05:46 PM

It's simple linear interpolation between 2 vectors.
LRP c, t, a, b; c = t*a + (1-t)*b, t is in [0,1] for lerp.

Rental Listing FAQ

  • What is the "Ask a question" feature for?

    We all have questions at times that might not be covered by what's in front of us, which is why we have the a conversation feature. This allows you to have a private conversation with another member to clear up what you want to know about an item and is a way to get to know the other people on Open Shed before you meet and share items safely. You can converse as much as you need without ever exchanging personal details and really to get know what you need to know about a person or their item.

  • Is Open Shed in my area?

    The beauty of Open Shed is it is an online portal listing what people want to share with others, so you don't have to travel to a shop or warehouse to rent anything. The more people we have sharing on Open Shed, the more fun and useful it will be for everybody!

    The easiest way to find out if there is stuff in your area is to search.

  • What if I need a rental item quickly?

    So you're the intrepid kind that likes to fly by the seat of their pants, hey? You can make a rental on the day or within a couple of days of when you need the item. Just remember little fleet footer, some people don't check their email every day so it is in your best interest to allow a bit of time for the person to get back to you where you can. You might also consider using the "Ask a Question" feature to see how quickly you can get your hands on an item with a couple of members if you have a few choices.

    When you send a message to an owner using the "Ask a question" button an SMS will be sent to the owner so they are alerted as quickly as possible to your enquiry.

  • How far in advance can I make a Rental Request?

    In this fast paced world, we know that some people like to plan ahead. If you want to plan your rental in advance, we recommend using the "Ask a Question" feature to let the other member know you are interested in their item and ask if it is available during the period you had in mind. Once you get closer to the timeframe, send through your rental request and your on your way.

  • When is the rental fee removed from my account?

    The rental and service fees are removed from your account when you place your rental request. The funds are held securely by the platform and only transferred to the Owner when they enter the booking code you provide on pickup. If the rental request is declined, or times out without acceptance or pickup then the funds are automatically refunded in full.

  • Is it safe to use Open Shed?

    We've designed Open Shed to make it as safe as possible for you to share your items with the rest of the Open Shed community. You can get an idea about someone through reading their profile, access feedback on their previous rentals and send messages privately to get to know individual members better. You are always in control, so if you don't feel comfortable sharing your stuff with someone or meeting them for any reason you don't have to.

47. Capital Punishment (#1 of 4): The obligation to execute by strangulation when called for

One who strikes another so that he dies shall be put to death (Exodus 21:12)

If you refer to the Rambam’s 14 criteria for enumerating the 613 mitzvos, you will see that the final principle there is that the imposition of penalties are counted as positive commandments. We will address this concept more fully in our analysis of the Rambam’s criteria. For now, let’s just go with it.

There are four types of capital punishment under Torah law: burning, stoning, decapitation and strangulation. Strangulation – “chenek” in Hebrew – is the “default” punishment, i.e., the one used unless otherwise specified. (See Talmud Sanhedrin 52b.)

The reason for this mitzvah is obvious: these penalties serve as a deterrent to rampant crime and anarchy. The threat of death is intended to dissuade those so inclined from murdering others. (There was, however, a legal process to be followed, including warning, witnesses, etc. Death penalties were not just handed out indiscriminately in Biblical times.)

Strangulation was carried out by burying the convicted felon up to his knees. A cloth was wrapped around the condemned killer’s neck, which was pulled from both directions until he died.

Ramban (Nachmanides) does not count the four manners of capital punishment as four positive mitzvos, as the Rambam does. Rather, he considers the obligation to purge our communities of evil (Deut. 17:7) as a general commandment and the four forms of execution as details. The Sefer HaChinuch cites Exodus 21:12 as the source of this mitzvah, but the Rambam actually cites 21:16, “he shall surely die.” To cite that as the source, however, would reverse the order of this mitzvah and the next (which is from 21:15), so we have decided to follow the order of the Sefer HaChinuch.

This mitzvah only applies to the courts in the time of a properly-ordained Sanhedrin, rather than to individuals. It is discussed in the seventh chapter of the Talmudic tractate of Sanhedrin, particularly on pages 52b-53a. In the Mishneh Torah, it’s in Hilchos Sanhedrin chapter 14. It is #227 of the 248 positive mitzvos in the Rambam’s Sefer HaMitzvos.

    Enjoying this glass sink and brass rubbed faucet in our remodeled bathroom. The smaller size is great for our 30 inch vanity. The brass fixture has held its finish really nicely over the last year or so. Drains well. Finish on sink has held up well, although there is one small spot in the finish. It is smooth in the basin with the design or texture on the bottom. Looks nice in the sunlight.

  • not quite what it seems
    Verified Purchase

    This looks fantastic in the photo, but in actuality, the stripes in the glass look very unnatural. The outside of the bowl looks kind of like spray-on gold. Kind of. The faucet looks bronze but is actually a reddish tone that matches nothing else available on the market. That said, it still looks good in the bathroom and gets compliments.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, next-generation open world role-playing game, set in a graphically stunning fantasy universe, full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. In The Witcher, you play as Geralt of Rivia, one of a dying caste of monster hunters, and embark on an epic journey in a war-ravaged world that will inevitably lead you to confront a foe darker than anything humanity has faced so far—the Wild Hunt.

The world burns as the Empire of Nilfgaard pierces through the heart of the kingdoms in the north. Geralt of Rivia is pursued by an enemy devoid of mercy—the Wild Hunt, a mythical cavalcade of ghastly riders, harbingers of doom and destruction, capable of destroying entire settlements overnight. Driven by a deeply personal agenda, Geralt must navigate a maze of hostile forces to find and protect the one described in an ancient prophecy. Gritty and merciless, the world the adventure plays out in sets new standards in terms of size, ecosystem complexity and meaningful non-linearity. Experience realistic day and night cycles, observe weather changes that influence gameplay, and conquer the lush environment using arcane witcher lore.

Evolve unique witcher skills to tailor gameplay to your liking; hunt bloodthirsty monsters and develop your signature fighting strategies; use potent battle magic, and slay your way to victory in a truly limitless open world. Stroll, swim, ride and sail; embark on legendary quests and collect epic bounties. Take control: go anywhere, do anything!

M83 Releases Video for “Steve McQueen”

M83 has unveiled a stunning video for “Steve McQueen,” from 2011’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. The video features a strapping young gentleman dressed in a yellow suit, science experiments and some stellar animation sequences that all fit the spirit of the song perfectly.

There is certainly a sense of nostalgic freedom at work here, as directors Balthazar Auxietre and Sylvain Derosne let the song dictate their edits in order to let the video take on a life of its own. The video is the result of a video contest run by Genero.tv.

"Trying to phone the hospital"

About: Gloucestershire Royal Hospital

It was not possible to phone the hospital as the operator was not 'operating' !!!! How are we to find out how a loved one is doing if we cannot speak to anyone? This is totally unacceptable, we have studied the web site and still to no avail!!!! What is also irritating is that none of your review sections are applicable to this complaint - how convenient for you!!!! My mothers name is Lynette and she went in for a foot operation today 27/06/14 I would like to know how she is doing.

Nitto Dura Grappler

In For the Long Haul. The Dura Grappler is a highway terrain tire that provides outstanding treadwear life and ride comfort.
  • Dura Grappler
  • Exceptional tread life
  • Excellent ride comfort
  • All season traction
  • Bridges were added between tread blocks to join individual blocks into continuous ribs. This stabilizes the tire and reduces tread flex, resulting in excellent tread life.
  • Multi-Slanted 3D blocks and continuous tread ribs limit tread flex to prevent irregular wear and reduce pattern noise.
  • The high density, waved sipes help cut though the thin film of water on the road surface to improve traction in wet weather.

Speed Rating
Load Index
Load Range

Safety Rating is a combination of two values: Load Index and Speed Rating for P-Metric and Euro Metric tire sizes; and Load Range and Speed Rating in the case of heavy duty LT (light truck) sizes.

Speed Rating is based on the speed that the tire is designed to be driven at for extended periods of time. All tires in the in the U.S. are designed to maintain legal U.S. speed limits. The speed rating of tires must match the maximum driving speed of the vehicle.

Load Index is used on P metric and Euro Metric sized tires and denotes a tire's load-carrying capacity at a specified inflation pressure. The load index is represented by a number, the higher the Load Index Value the greater the load the tire can safely carry. Vehicle manufacturers recommend a maximum load capacity based on a recommended minimum load index.

Tire Class

Tire Class reflects how the tire will be used. There are four major categories: All-Season, Max Performance, Summer-Only and Winter-Use.

All-Season tires are suitable for year-round driving in all weather conditions.

Summer-Only & Max Performance tires are specifically designed for high-performance driving. Tire compound, tread design and speed ratings all combine to hug the road and maintain grip. Summer tires by nature are not ideal for winter driving due to lack of siding to grip winter roads.

Winter-Use tires have tread compounds and patterns that are specially designed for grip on snowy or icy road surfaces. They are not suitable for year-round use. The rubber compound used will wear more quickly on dry, summer roads. It is recommended that winter tires are fitted as a complete set to avoid potential handling issues.

Tread Type

Tread Type is an important consideration when choosing a tire. There are four main types: Passenger, Highway, All-Terrain and Mud-Terrain.

Passenger denotes a tread that is suitable for normal use, a good all-round tread for normal driving.

Highway is a tread type unique to SUV and truck tires. The tread is optimized for normal everyday driving on paved surfaces. These tires can be driven off pavement, but are not ideally suited for off road traction. Highway tread patterns deliver a quiet ride.

For light trucks and specialty vehicles, All-Terrain tread types provide better off-road traction than standard highway truck tires. There more aggressive tread tends to be less quiet on paved roads. All Terrain tires are suitable for everyday use.

Mud-Terrain treads are specifically designed with wider tread blocks and higher void ratios to gain traction in off-road conditions. Mud Terrain tires can generate higher noise levels and tend to carry lower mileage warranties than other tread designs.

Highway Highway
All-Terrain All-Terrain

UTQG - Uniform Tire Quality Grade

UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grade) is made up of three values: treadwear, traction and temperature.

Treadwear is a relative numeric score, based on manufacturer tests, showing how well a tire can be expected to wear compared to other tires. A higher score means a tire could be expected to wear better.

Traction measures the tire's ability to stop a vehicle on wet roads. It doesn't reflect a tire's acceleration, cornering, or hydroplaning performance. Traction grades range from AA (highest) to C (lowest).

Temperature grades the tire's ability to withstand heat build-up, with A being the highest grade and C the lowest.

A - Over 115 mph
B - Between 100 to 115 mph
C - Between 85 to 100 mph
Traction Asphalt - gForce
AA - Above 0.54
A - Above 0.47
B - Above 0.38
C - Less Than 0.38
A - Over 115 mph
B - Between 100 and 115 mph
C - Between 85 and 100 mph

Drive / Ride Performance Characteristics

All tires have the following six performance characteristics, divided into three sets of trade-offs. In most cases, a tire may perform excellently in one characteristic but only standard in the other.
Standard Ride Comfort & Standard Handling
Handling: Get stiff side wall for precise steering and cornering but settle for a firm ride with increased road noise.
Ride Comfort: Enjoy a quiet, smooth ride but lose some cornering ability.
Standard Treadwear & Standard Traction
Traction: Stop faster in wet conditions but expect a shorter tread life.
Treadwear: Get long, uniform wear across your tread pattern but expect less traction in wet conditions.
Standard Low Rolling Resistance & Standard High Speed Performance
High-Speed Performance: Get increased performance at higher speeds but sacrifice some fuel economy.
Low Rolling Resistance: Enjoy improved fuel efficiency but expect less high-speed cornering ability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Best tire Ive ever run I have all combined about 80k on two vehicles running these. I punish my tires. I run 2 E rated sizes- One on a 7300lb 4x4 (285/70R17 E) (that has 900lb torque) and on an AWD 5500lb (265/70/17 E) vehicle. They wear straight and never need rotated. I dont experience sidewall push in turns on the lighter vehicle bc I run an E rated tire. I haul and tow heavy and fast with no issues. They are not snow tires or the best in the mud but they handle those chores well even while towing. Rain traction in 2wd isnt the best (no tire really does well in that behind a diesel) but i have zero issue on the awd in rain or either on the highway in rain. my vehicles constantly run above 80mph for extended periods (to include cross country towing) and they are smooth and stable. i have never hydroplaned or doubted the tires when pushing them. scrap the goodrich, scrap the michelin. these tires are great! i prefer more open sipe to allow water to exit the sides of the tires but it really hasnt caused issue in water. my diesel is at 40k with these tires. im replacing them just to get through winter easier but could easily keep them on the road. i run 38psi rear/42 front when empty and max sidewall pressure when loaded. i have no wear issues and dont have a rough ride when empty. my awd has over 40k, have never been rotated, and are slightly less than 1/2 tread used. they are staying in service. pressure is 32 psi empty, 40 towing.

OFI-400HP Optical Fiber Identifier
Dec 2011
AFLRequest Info
SPARTANBURG, S.C., Dec. 6, 2011 — AFL Telecommunications is introducing its Noyes OFI-400HP, an optical fiber identifier designed to simplify installation, maintenance, rerouting or restoration tasks in high-power optical networks.

It detects traffic, tones and hazardous core power levels with low insertion loss that permits technicians to positively identify fibers without disrupting services. It also incorporates an optical power meter designed for use where power levels up to 33 dBm are present. Whenever power levels above 23 dBm are detected, the device warns users of the potential eye hazard and fiber damage associated with disconnecting, cutting or breaking the optical circuit.

It is suitable for use in long-haul, metro core and metro access networks carrying coarse wavelength division multiplexing and dense wavelength division multiplexing, analog video or other high-power signals. It can measure the high power levels present in these systems and warn users of potential safety hazards associated with the networks.

The company also offers the OFI-400, which is optimized for use with bare, buffered, ribbon and jacketed fiber, and the OFI-400C, optimized for jacketed fiber. All versions feature a proprietary optical head that eliminates the need for the array of fiber adapters required by other optical fiber identifiers, the company says.

The OFI-400HP is designed for the rigors of day-to-day field use. It features rugged construction and includes built-in automatic self-test capability. Its compact size makes it easy to use in crowded fiber trays, racks and conduits.

1 of 2 killer questions-Trig

    1 of 2 killer questions--Trig

    suppose the depth of the tide in a certain harbor can be modeled by y=21-5cos(pi t)/6, where y is the water detph in feet and t is the time in hours. Consider a day in which t=0 represents 12:00 midnight. For that day, when are the first high tide and the first low tide and what is the water depth at each time?

    I came up with:
    High tide: 7 am, 16 feet; low tide 13 noon, 15 feet.

    That is wrong.....can anyone help? :confused:

    It's really qouit simpel you acctuaelly want to know when cos(pi*t/6) equals 1 and -1 (max and min). After you have done this you only have to find y for the calculated values of t. The answeres I got this way where: high tide at 6AM and 6PM with 26 feet and low tide at midnigth and noon with 16 feet.

Black Hole Radiation

  1. Jun 21, 2004 #1
    I read the book, "ABOUT TIME" by Paul Davies and I forgot how particles getting sucked into a black hole convert some of their mass in high energy radiation such as x rays and gamma radiation. I am not referring to Hawking radiation that holds up the second law of thermodynamics but the radiation of particles getting sucked in right at the event horizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...`

    Charged particles, when accelerated, emit radiation. Stuff getting sucked into black holes gets speeded up, gets ionized, and then emits radiation as it further speeds up.

    Thank you for the info
  5. Jun 22, 2004 #4
    But why does this happen when they are accelerated?
  6. Jun 22, 2004 #5
    Mathman is right but this doesnt apply to the question, he explains only about how radiation (in the form of photons) is emitted from particles that are given high energy. When particles are given high energy the electrons go to an excited state, when they go back to the ground state, the electons emit a photon. This explains how particles emit radiation, but the question is about how patricles that get sucked into a back hole are CONVERTED into energy. This is the case of Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. Although im not too sure myself HOW is happens, but i do know it happens when particles are annihilated, which can happen when it is collided with anti-matter. There are other ways too to convert mass into energy, one very common way is nuclear fusion, which the sun does a lot of. When two protons are fused to make a helium nucleus, the nucleas will have less mass than the two protons separate. The extra mass is converted into enegry according to the equation. I dont know if that at all helps, since i didnt really answer ur question, but i'll keep in touch if i can further help.
  7. Jun 23, 2004 #6
    Last night I decided to look up how x rays were generated in machines to get a better idea of what I ws trying to ask. It seems that accelerating electrons bombarding matter somehow releases energy in the form of x rays. In x ray machines they use a strong electric field or a cathode ray tube to accelerate the electrons and make them strike a plate made of tungsten and this somehow releases energy. I am ASSUMING this energy comes from the addition mass that is added to the mass off an electron due to its acceleration and is somehow released as high energy radiation.
    I know how energy is released as photons strike an atom by causing the electrons to go into an ecited state and then returning to its original valence in turn releasing a photon (reflection) but as to how electrons striking a mass particle and releasing high energy photons still seem a little fuzzy to me but the pictue (in my mind) is starting to get clearer. I appreciate all your help:)
  8. Jun 23, 2004 #7
    What u say about the electrons being accelerated using a cathode ray tube is correct. BUT i really do not think that anything happens to the electron itself, because when the electron hits the tungsten, the electron transfers its kinetic energy to it, and im assuming therefore causing the tungsten to emit radiation, since giving it KE will make the tungten's eletrons to become excited. In fact thats how a TV works, its basicly a cathode ray tube guided by magnets which shoot the electrons onto the screen which has some special coding, the atoms of the coding get exited, and therefore emit light, which is what we see on the screen. The light emitted is what makes up the picture of what u see on TV. Although im not sure how the shape of the picture is made. I'm pretty sure that should help, if in any case im wrong, sorry, im not an expert on anything, im just a high school student very interested in astronomy/astrophysics/chemistry/physics, all that good stuff, lol. :P

Saved buffered waveforms and data

Forum for discussing PicoScope version 6 (non-automotive version)

Saved buffered waveforms and data

Postby cx1111 » Thu Nov 28, 2013 1:41 pm

Hello, my department just bought a new picoscope and I'm playing around with the signals.

My first basic task is to characterize some high pass filters to see how well they work. (Turns out, not very well.) I want to see the amplitude of the wave for a range of frequencies in response to a constant driving voltage from my function generator.

So I ran a continuous frequency sweep of a sin wave from my function generator from 10kHz-2MHz. Triggered through the scope.

1. I don't know the best way to 'collect data' because I know nothing about this software. I want raw values obviously but for the moment, all I've done is save 100 waveforms and then sift through them, manually extracting data from the waveforms. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to collect and analyze everything on matlab.

2. If I use the above method, how do I manipulate values, ie sampling data, duration of frequency sweep, timebase, etc to get a more dense range of voltages and frequencies saved? Ie, I have 100khz, 250, 300, 508, .....2M. I want 100, 105, 110, ...... 2M.

Thank you very much for any input and advice.

Depending on the series range, there are Instrument Drivers available to control the device from within MATLAB.

You can change the timebase through the drop-down menu at the top in the PicoScope 6 window. Next to that is the zoom factor, and after that is the sample adjustment box.

Brooklyn-Queens Expressway

November 8, 2016, 5am PST
