Jake,
Quote:Power output/management ona pico is the relationship of time and samples...........yes.?
That would be true sample rate and would apply to any DSO.
Quote:The secondary signals are fast so one must be sure to have they foot on the pedal enough to get the real picture.............aye..?
Yes, these should be sampled at at least 1 MHz.
Quote:At this time in the software, one must just know the numbers to understand where the gas pedal is...........yes.?
Yes. We do not get into these issues in the public areas. If you would like to start this discussion in the Picogroup area we will provide more detail.
However, watching the 4000 power management tutorial while referring to the laminated sample rate chart included with your kit will provide you a good working understanding of where the clutch and the gas are so you launch instead of just doing a smoke show.
The 3000 scopes had no clutch and best results were to just put the pedal to the metal and forget about it. Simple. The 4000 series are so much more powerful and require a bit of futzing with to get the desired results. It's not hard though and with a little practice it will become second nature.
