Yes, in PicoScope6 you can display up to 2kHz as a frequency measurement by going to the AC/DC selection box which has the choice of AC/DC/Frequency. This works for any channel but only for the first one selected.

In selection box AC/DC there is only AC/DC without Frequency.
where can I will find Frequency selection?
I want to capture digital maf graph.

Shay,

What scope are you using?

That feature is only functional on some units. We specialize in the automotive scopes and this feature is only available on the 4000 series not the 3000 series. I don't know what other test and measurement units this works with.

Yes, my mistake. The frequency measurement option is only available on the 4000 series scopes. (It is built into the hardware, so can't be used on other scopes).

Shay,

That feature would not likely be useful at this time for digital MAF anyway since the frequency is limited to 2kHz. That feature will not be available for the 3000 series since it is dependent on the 4000 hardware.

This does not prevent you from doing this task.

Capture your digital MAF along with TPS. Then use a measurement frequency between rulers on the MAF channel and frame the highest airflow area to see the max frequency of your MAF.

Be sure to dial up max samples to maintain adequate sample rate for the length of capture.
