Smart scope for speedy debug
The PicoScope 6000E Series FlexRes oscilloscopes from Pico Technology feature eight channels with 500 MHz bandwidth, 16 digital channels and resolution of 8, 10 or 12 bits. The products work with PicoScope 6 application software, which makes use of the latest PC performance and display capabilities, showing clean, crisp waveforms on screens of various sizes and resolutions.
The top-of-the range PicoScope 6824E has dual 5 GS/s analogue to digital converters and 4 gigasamples of capture memory as standard. It offers a set of built-in tools for embedded systems debug, including DeepMeasure that captures the measurement results of each one in up to a million cycles.
The 8 + 16 channels address challenges faced by engineers when debugging complex Internet of Things and embedded systems that have mixed analogue and digital elements, such as serial and parallel communications with high-speed low-voltage signaling.
FlexRes architecture allows the hardware to be configured by the user to optimize either the sampling rate, to 5 GS/s at 8-bit resolution, or up to 12-bit resolution with 1.25 GS/s sampling. For diverse applications such as capturing and decoding fast digital signals, or looking for distortion in sensitive analogue signals, flexible resolution allows both measurements to be made with the same oscilloscope.
The PicoScope 6824E, with standard 4 GS memory, can capture a 200-millisecond signal at a sampling rate of 5 GS/s, so 200 picoseconds resolution (a ratio of 1:1,000,000,000). Deep captures can be explored with the included waveform buffer navigator and zoomed in by up to a million times using the zoom/pan controls.
The PicoScope 6000E Series uses PicoScope 6 PC software, a graphical user interface. It presents information in time, frequency and digital domains as required by the user. Mask limit testing and user-defined alarms are included, as well as capture memory segmentation from 1 to 10,000. Translated into 22 languages, PicoScope 6 can be used worldwide.
PicoScope 6 includes decoders for 21 serial protocols as well as parallel bus decoding of the digital channels. The most recent additions to the list of supported protocols are BroadR-Reach (100BASE-T1) Automotive Ethernet, Manchester and DALI. More protocols are in development.
