pico ADC-100 user manual
Version 1.0 rev 3 Page 1
1 Introduction
The PICO ADC-100 is a high speed analog to digital converter with two
input channels and software controlled input ranges.
The unit is supplied with a range or ready-to-use Virtual Instrument and
data logging software: alternatively, you can use the ADC-100 driver
software to develop your own programs to collect and analyse data from
the unit. The software includes:
C PicoScope for DOS and Windows: virtual instrument programs
which enable you to use the ADC-100 like an Oscilloscope,
Spectrum Analyser or Voltmeter
C PicoLog (optional): DOS program to carry our data logging and
analysis
C Clipboard: Windows program to collect data and write it to the
clipboard- you can then analyse the data using a spreadsheet
C adc100.exe: DOS program to read in large amounts of data and
write it to a text file.
This manual describes the physical and electrical properties of the ADC-
100, and explains how to install the software. For information about the
software supplied with the unit, please refer to the following documents:

For all Pico ADCs, the ground input (BNC outer shell) is connected directly
to the ground of your computer. This is done in order to minimise
interference. As with most oscilloscopes, you should take care not to
connect the ground input of the ADC to anything which may be at some
voltage other than ground: doing so may cause damage to the ADC. If in
doubt, use a meter to check that there is no significant AC or DC voltage.
For computers that do not have an earth connection (for example laptops),
it must be assumed that the ADC-100 is not protected by an earth. For
such computers, we recommend that only class II (double insulated)
oscilloscope probes should be used.
The maximum input voltage range of the ADC-100 is ±20V. Any voltages
in excess of ±200V may cause permanent damage to the unit.
The unit contains no user serviceable parts: repair or calibration of the unit
requires specialised test equipment and must be performed by Pico
Technology Limited or their authorised distributors.
