PicoScope 7 Automotive
Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, the next evolution of our diagnostic scope software is now available.
'Properties' feature from PicoScope 6 ?
'Properties' feature from PicoScope 6 ?
Is the Properties view (PicoScope 6: View > Properties) available in PicoScope 7 ?
I find it is useful to display the date, sample info (rate,interval,etc). and which device was used during trace capture. So far, I am unable to find this info in PicoScope 7 (as of version 7.0.93.10998).
Thanks and Sorry if I missed this topic if covered already!

Re: 'Properties' feature from PicoScope 6 ?
Hello and thank you for the post
I totally agree with the “View Properties” pane within PS6 being moved to PS7 as this was always useful from a support point of view too.
We do have a number of "Properties" features available in PS7 at present but in various locations
Click on More > About PicoScope 7 to reveal the Scope model and Serial number used to acquire the loaded capture
As yet, no time or date stamp accompanies this dialog box (This has been logged as a New Feature Request)
For the “Sample interval” used for the loaded capture, you can find this by clicking on the Timebase lozenge when your loaded capture is displayed on screen
For the current capture, the Sample Interval is displayed within the Timebase tab for the current capture
Sorry, I appreciate this is a little clunky as it would be ideal to have all this valuable information in one location, rest assured we are working on a solution
I hope this helps, take care……Steve

Greetings,
Yes, it does help. I will share this information with colleagues as we were searching the menus together recently.

I tried this using PS7 Stable 7.0.80.9125. The software version shown is the current version of PS7 on the PC used to open the .psdata file. The scope model and serial number are what is currently connected...or shows demo. This is the same in the print feature, with the current date and time in the print feature.

Hello and thank you for the posts
Sorry, I should have clarified the version I used to provide the above screen shots (Version 7.0.103.11746 EA) as seen in image 1 (The version used to open the file displayed)
The displayed Scope Model and Serial number belong to the device used to capture the loaded psdata file as no scope was connected to my laptop. (Demo mode)
What would be ideal is to include the software version number that was used to capture loaded files which is certainly under discussion
Could you retest with Version 7.0.103.11746 EA Grant just to confirm I am no going mad
Take care.....Steve

Sorry I should have tried the same tests with the latest EA as that is what you used to reply to the original post.Steve Smith wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 10:11 amHello and thank you for the posts

After testing with 7.0.103.11746 EA I agree with your comments in your first reply to the original post. At some point changes were made to EA and I did not notice. I tend to use Stable for work, and only use EA while reviewing files at home. I agree it would be wise to have the software version used to make a capture attached to the saved file.Steve Smith wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 10:11 amThe displayed Scope Model and Serial number belong to the device used to capture the loaded psdata file as no scope was connected to my laptop.
