I have purchased a PicoLog 1012 to log data from my solar panels. It logs the time that the circulating pump switches on and off fine, but I need the temperature and particularly the temperature differential of the flow to and from the panels. What temperature sensors and converters do I need? A. There is no need for a converter to measure temperature on the PicoLog 1012. You can easily measure multiple temperatures using one resistor and one thermistor for each channel required, and a terminal board (PP545) is available to make connections easier. For more details, see this topic on our support forum: http://www.picotech.com/support/topic6143.html Page Up and Page Down buttons in PicoScope: Here's a feature that not all PicoScope users know about. If you load a waveform from a directory containing several waveforms, then the Page Up and Page Down keys on the keyboard can be used to step through all the waveforms in the directory. These are just two of the keyboard shortcuts available in PicoScope. In R6.6 or later the shortcuts are customisable: go to Tools > Preferences > Keyboard.
