Use your various rulers or the measurement functions in the Pico software to measure frequency, pulse width, duty cycle, rpm, minimum and maximum, etc.
Your videos are soooo helpful to new DYI users who don't have the benefit of formal training or work in a shop alongside experienced users guiding them. Well it's ALMOST like you are right next to me in a professional setting guiding me. Thank you for taking the time to go over the Picoscope software, and everyrhing else you provide on your channel Mr Justin Miller.
In automotive measurements the negative part of the waveform is the ON-time because we measure the % the actuator is switched to ground by the ECU. With my Pico 2204A with the Automotive software ( hacked) i got 20% on a real duty cycle of 80%. I don't know how to change that. So, i calculate the real duty cycle. It's not a real problem. I'm still looking to change that. No solution found. Thanks for the video.
This depends on whether the computer is controlling the "high side" of the circuit or the "low side." Both methods are used in automotive. It can also depend how how you connect your scope to the circuit. If you are just measuring voltage on the low side and comparing that voltage to ground, on time would be represented by the low voltage pulse width.
