Pico Technology announces new entry-level mixed-signal oscilloscopes
Pico Technology has announced the latest additions to its PicoScope 3000E Series, new entry-level Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) models featuring four analog channels and bandwidth options of 100 MHz and 200 MHz. Designed for engineers, educators and embedded system developers, these new variants lower the barrier to entry to obtaining the advanced capabilities of the PicoScope 3000E platform at an accessible price point.
These new 100 MHz and 200 MHz oscilloscopes are ideal for applications that demand precision and flexibility, without the cost of higher-end instruments. With deep memory, cross-platform software and optional digital inputs they provide a comprehensive solution for mixed-signal testing and debugging.
Key features of the new PicoScope 3000E MSO models include:
100 MHz and 200 MHz bandwidth options with 5 GS/s sampling rate, the highest available on any USB powered oscilloscope, and 10-bit resolution. These combine to deliver accurate signal capture with low noise, ideal for general electronics, education, and industrial applications.
2 GS ultra-deep memory and segmented acquisition: Capture long or repetitive events with detail and speed up to 2 million waveforms per second.
Cross-platform PicoScope 7 software (Windows, macOS, Linux): Intuitive interface with advanced features and free lifetime updates.
4 analog channels + optional 16 digital inputs: Provides the flexibility to simultaneously analyse both analog and digital signals—perfect for working with microcontrollers, FPGAs and other mixed-signal systems.
200 MS/s, 14-bit AWG/function generator: Generate complex analog signals for testing and simulation without external equipment.
USB 3.0 Type-C interface: Enables fast data transfer and removes the need for an additional power source.
40+ serial protocol decoders included as standard, including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, FlexRay and USB—ideal for embedded development.
Advanced triggering, math and measurements: Includes powerful tools such as DeepMeasure, automated pass/fail testing, waveform masks and more.
