DrDAQ Data logger

Data logger, oscilloscope, signal generator and more!

DrDAQ is a versatile instrument that connects to the USB port of any PC.  

Using the supplied PicoScope software it can be used as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer and signal generator.

Using the supplied PicoLog 6 software it can be used as a data logger with built-in sensors for light, temperature and sound. It can also measure voltage and resistance. In addition it has a socket for standard pH electrodes and connectors that allow the use of optional external sensors for measuring temperature, humidity, pressure and more.

DrDAQ features

• Oscilloscope / spectrum analyzer
• Signal generator / arbitrary waveform generator
• Built-in sensors for light, temperature and sound
• Measure pH and redox — just plug in any standard electrode
• Sockets for external sensors including temperature and humidity
• 4 digital inputs and outputs (alarms, PWM, pulse counting)
• USB connected and powered
• Supplied with PicoScope 6 and PicoLog 6 software
• Supplied with PicoSDK Windows, Mac and Linux drivers
• Very low cost

Oscilloscope / spectrum analyzer

The DrDAQ oscilloscope input has a 100 kHz bandwidth, 8-bit resolution and four input ranges.  

It is supplied with a full version of the PicoScope software, which offers high-end oscilloscope functions such as FFT spectrum analysis, mask limit testing, software-based filters and measurements.

Signal generator / arbitrary waveform generator (AWG)

The DrDAQ has a built in DC to 20 kHz function generator which when used with PicoScope software can output sine, square, triangle, ramp and DC voltage signals.

As well as the standard waveforms available from the function generator, custom waveforms can be created using the 10-bit 2 MS/s arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). AWG waveforms can be created or edited using the built-in editor, imported from oscilloscope traces, or loaded from a spreadsheet.

Sound level meter / sound waveforms

The built-in microphone can be used in two ways.

• Sound level meter / data logger with a 55 to 100 dB range using PicoLog 6
• Oscilloscope / spectrum analyzer with views of sound waveforms using PicoScope 6

Temperature sensor / data logger

A built-in sensor allows measures room temperature from –10 °C to +70 °C (14°F to +158°F) 

The optional DD100 external sensor measures over a wider range of –10 °C to +105 °C (14°F to +221°F).
