USB oscilloscopes

9 November 2016 Test & Measurement

Pico Technology’s PicoScope 2000 Series is a highly portable range of USB-powered test instruments packing an inordinate amount of functionality.

The two-channel, four-channel and mixed-signal models have the functionality of an oscilloscope plus a logic analyser (on MSO models), spectrum analyser, function generator, arbitrary waveform generator, and serial bus analyser with support for 15 protocols included as standard.

PicoScope 2000A 2- and 4-channel models are ideal for technicians, trainers, students and hobbyists doing fault-finding on signals up to 25 MHz. The 2205A MSO (mixed-signal oscilloscope) has 2 analog plus 16 digital channels for viewing and making measurements on digital or mixed technology designs.

PicoScope 2000B Series models are equipped with deep buffer memory from 32 to 128 megasamples, and bandwidths of 50, 70 or 100 MHz supported with sampling speeds to 1 GSps, and hardware acceleration to deliver over 80 000 waveforms per second update rates. Like the ‘A’ family they are available in 2- and 4-channel models, plus 2+16 channel MSO versions.

The instruments connect to a host PC or tablet, and are controlled and operated with PicoScope 6 software that takes advantage of available PC processing power, display, touchscreen and traditional control capabilities. Advanced features such as segmented memory, mask limit testing, advanced waveform math and decoders for popular serial buses are included as standard.

The PicoScope software development kit (SDK) enables engineers to write custom applications for the 2000 Series, making them ideal for a wide range of OEM applications such as power system and machine health monitoring, high-energy physics and medical electronics applications.
