When connecting the new Pico BNC+ test lead or other BNC+ probe to the 4x25A oscilloscope, a warning window appears in the PicoScope 6 Automotive software, stating "The power consumption has been exceeded, and the probe has been powered off." As shown in Figure 1, how to solve it?
figure 1
The new smart BNC+ probe is connected to the Pico car oscilloscope, and it is powered by the oscilloscope. It can be tested for a long time overnight without worrying about the probe battery being insufficient.
The above situation is caused by insufficient current provided by the computer to the oscilloscope . After inspection, it is because the laptop battery is low and the power adapter is not connected. After the user connects the power adapter and then connects the Pico BNC+ probe, the warning window in Figure 1 no longer appears, and the problem is solved.
