The new PicoScope 9321 sampling oscilloscope integrates a 9,5 GHz optical fibre-to-electrical converter with a two-channel, 20 GHz PC sampling oscilloscope.
This extends Pico Technology’s serial data and eye diagram visualisation to fibre-optic data systems with bit rates up to 11 Gbps and includes clock recovery.
All the PicoScope 9300 models are full-featured sampling oscilloscopes with 20 GHz electrical bandwidth, so can be used for pre-compliance tests, fault finding and margin testing on electrical serial data signals such as 10 Gb Ethernet, SONET/SDH STM64 and FEC1071, 10x Fibre Channel, InfiniBand and PCI Express.
The scopes also have LAN and USB interfaces, and advanced large-screen display features such as colour and density profiling, multiple trace windows, histograms, multiple measurements and statistics. With a sampling rate of 1 MSps, these scopes can build waveforms and persistence displays very fast.
The small footprint of the scopes allows them to be positioned right next to the device or port under test, on the bench or in the field, without additional cables and losses. Specification highlights include 17,5 ps input rise time; dual 16-bit, 60 dB dynamic range ADCs; 5 ps/div dual timebase; 14 GHz trigger bandwidth; built-in clock recovery up to 11,3 Gb/s; and time interval resolution of 64 fs. Typical input noise is 1,5 mV RMS at full bandwidth, with trigger jitter of 1,8 ps RMS and recovered clock jitter of only 1 ps RMS.
The PicoSample software has also been updated for the new oscilloscopes. The range of controls has been extended, with intuitive graphics, click-and-drag operations and measurement labels to simplify and speed up operation. The flexible layout shows only the controls and menus needed and maximises the area available for the data.
The suite of measurement and analysis functions includes 61 math operations, 138 automatic measurements and 167 standard comms masks from 1,54 Mbps to 12,5 Gbps. PicoSample 3 is compatible with all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows from XP to 8.
