Pico launches advanced PicoScope 3000E series PC-based oscilloscopes
Pico Technology has announced the expansion of its PicoScope 3000 series with the introduction of the world’s first USB-powered 5 GS/s oscilloscopes. Two models, with 350 MHz and 500 MHz bandwidth respectively, have 5 GS/s sampling rate and 10 bits resolution (up to 14 bits with Enhanced Resolution).
The latest additions to the PicoScope 3000 series combine technology with user-friendly design to meet the diverse needs of engineers, technicians and researchers. Key features of the new models include:
• 500 MHz bandwidth, 5 GS/s sampling rate and 10 bits resolution
• 2 GS Ultra-deep capture memory: Enables capture of long-duration signals at maximum sampling rate and is complemented with the PicoScope DeepMeasure tool that delivers automatic measurements of waveform parameters on up to a million waveform cycles with each triggered acquisition.
• 200 MS/s 14-bit AWG / Function generator: Offers real-world waveform generation capabilities for a wide range of applications, eliminating the need for additional external equipment.
• USB 3.0 Type-C connected and powered: Ensures high-speed data transfer and compatibility with the latest generation of PCs, simplifying connectivity and setup. An adaptor for earlier USB port types is provided.
• PicoScope 7 User Interface for Windows, Mac & Linux with free updates: Offers an intuitive interface that enhances productivity and workflow efficiency across multiple operating systems.
• 38 serial decoders included as standard: Facilitates the analysis of serial bus communications, simplifying debugging and troubleshooting processes.
• Segmented memory, persistence and fast waveform updates: Enhances waveform visualisation and analysis capabilities, enabling users to extract valuable insights efficiently.
• Advanced maths, measurements, masks and digital triggering: Empowers users with advanced analysis tools for in-depth waveform characterisation and interpretation.
• Customisable actions that users can set up to automatically perform in response to events in long-duration unattended soak tests.
• SDK (Software Development Kit) that allows users to write bespoke applications with the provided drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux.
