Pico 6 software update 6.10.11.15

Post by roadserpent »

Right from the start I felt that my 4423 scope should be able to measure resistance. And I am very excited to see a resistance probe added to my channel options after my last software update ! But much to my dismay I can not make it work properly. I see all the ohms settings in the range selection drop down window and have used what I believe to be the zeroing option too. But my readings are not working properly. Do I need to purchase a special probe ? Please don't tell me that I need the 4425 to use this option.
Thanks in advance for a Pico reply.

Hi Jim,

We do not currently deploy a resistance probe with the software. Have you created a custom probe?

Can you screenshot the channel options where you are seeing the resistance option?

Thanks,

Well when I go open the channel options window it is listed next to library, but it was not there before I did the update. The first update failed, so I did another and it went through ok. I have not learned how to use anything in the tools window where custom probes are located and I stay away from that. So no custom probes for me yet.
