PDA Software

The PDA Software is designed for use with the PDA36AU Detector. It functions like a virtual two-channel oscilloscope, with live, record, and playback modes to display, save, and playback saved data from the detector and an analog input signal to the detector in the time domain. The software has many typical features common to oscilloscopes, such as zooming and center selection of time and voltage for both channels, horizontal and vertical cursors, persistence and smoothing display options, adjustable time, voltage, and trigger acquisition settings, signal statistics, and data and screen exporting. The gain setting of the device is controlled within the software, with eight settings from 0 dB to 70 dB, in 10 dB steps.
