Our anniversary celebrations!
We’ve had plenty of cause to celebrate at Pico this month! This year, we have been delighted to hold a 30th anniversary celebration; this was delayed by a year due to COVID, and it was lovely to finally bring the whole UK team together and reconnect.
Meanwhile, across the pond, our North American office celebrated its 10th anniversary. Craig Wheeler said: “1st October 2012 was the date the US office began operations. 10 years and two office moves later we are eating special, celebratory donuts!”

AC Coupling on an oscilloscope is an often misunderstood feature; sometimes it’s not used because it’s not fully understood how it can help, and other times it’s used when it does not need to be. This poses the following question: what is AC Coupling, and when can it be used?
This month’s PicoByte offers a brief explanation of AC Coupling. Meanwhile, check out our article for a more in-depth explanation.
