PicoLog 6 Beta supports Raspberry Pi 4, 3B and 3B+

One of the most popular computer platforms, Raspberry Pi has not been supported for Pico’s advanced datalogging software, up until now. The PicoLog 6 datalogging software is now compatible with Raspbian Stretch or later OS. The software has been designed for quick access to simple or complex acquisitions, and enabled to record, analyze or view data of almost any type.

It is essentially the same software that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a few differences to take advantage of the capability of the lower-powered Arm processors.  Producing a powerful datalogger for the Raspberry Pi SBC platform.

The PicoLog 6 is optimized for Raspbian Stretch and runs the Raspberry Pi 4, 3B and 3B+ SBC’s. The core of the utility is an easy to use visual interface that allows for an almost out-of-box use to the program.

Features Making Use of the Raspberry Pi

The tweaking and system building has brought Pico’s datalogging software to lower cost platforms, and leveraging the processing ability of the Raspberry Pi board has made it easy to add some new and different features to the software. Some of these features are as follows.

  • The PicoLog 6 can collect data right onto an SD Card, without the need for a keyboard, display or interface device. The cost savings of such a setup are significant.
  • A WiFi or Ethernet connection can enable data capture over the internet and view through an open-source VNC server or viewer that is free to use.
  • Using the Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) Pi Hat can internet-enable your datalogger without having to connect a power supply nor the need for a powered USB Hub.

The initial release supports the Picoscope 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000.

Pico USB Dataloggers

The company offers a wide range of sophisticated datalogging solutions for almost any needs, all of which are compatible with the Raspberry Pi 4, 3B and 3B+ platforms through the PicoLog 6 software interface.
