The new PicoScope 4425A and 4225A diagnostic oscilloscopes are available in four-channel and two-channel configurations. This latest diagnostic PicoScope design combines all the strengths of the existing 4425/4225 automotive scopes but adds smart interfaces for powered and intelligent accessories. The new accessory interface, called PicoBNC+, combines the standard BNC connector with active digital and power […]
PC-based Oscilloscopes - PCO
Galvanically isolated scopes beam data to PCs via WiFi
Two new members of the powerful high-resolution WiFiScope series oscilloscopes can be used via an ethernet connection (LAN, WiFi or WAN) but also still with a USB 2.0/3.0 connection. The built-in battery gives the WiFiScope the possibility to perform fully wireless differential measurements. Measurements can then be performed completely galvanically isolated, and over long distances. […]
Economical real-time scopes carry high-rez 12-bit channels, 0.2 psec equivalent-time sampling
The PicoScope 9404-16 SXRTO is a 16-GHz sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope which extends the range of a preceding 5-GHz model. Designed to analyze repetitive or clock-derived signals, it features four high-resolution 12-bit channels driven by up to 5 TS/sec (0.2 psec) equivalent-time sampling (ETS). The wide-band inputs can accurately measure transitions as fast as 22 psec, […]
Improved PC-based data logging software works with USB data loggers
PicoLog 6 is a complete data acquisition software package. It provides a visual, easy-to-use interface for users to quickly set up simple or complex acquisitions, record, view and analyze data. Features include: Real-time data collection and display Visual logger and channel setup for easy configuration and viewing Available for Windows 7, 8 and 10 (32 […]
PC-based scopes combine real-time, equivalent-time sampling
The PicoScope 9400 Series is a new class of SXRTO oscilloscopes that combine the benefits of real-time sampling, equivalent-time sampling and high analog bandwidth. The PicoScope 9404 Series SXRTO oscilloscopes have four input channels up to 16 GHz with market-leading ADC, timing and display resolutions for accurately measuring and visualizing high-speed analog and data signals. […]

The Pico Technology PicoScope 4823 is the world’s first high-speed, high-resolution, 8-channel automotive oscilloscope. It is fast enough for decoding the latest commonly used serial protocols used in vehicles, such as CAN, CAN FD, and FlexRay. The 4823 scope offers eight common-ground signal input channels with a maximum input range of 50 V and protection […]
Gallery: Interesting instruments on display at PCIM Europe
PCIM Europe is often proclaimed to be the world’s leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy, and energy management. Recently finishing up in Nuremberg, the exhibition floor of PCIM featured over 500 booths. Here are some of the more notable test & measurement we saw in touring the event. NEXT PAGE: […]
PC-based scope blends 5 GHz bandwidth and equivalent-time sampling
The PicoScope 9404-05 5GHz oscilloscope is a PC-based high-resolution device which brings an affordable high-speed performance by combining the benefits of real-time and equivalent-time sampling with high analog bandwidth. The PicoScope 9404-05 has four 5 GHz 50-Ω input channels, each with its own advanced 12-bit ADC, which provide the required timing and display resolution for […]
Isolated high-voltage 4-channel 200-MHz oscilloscope handles SiC MOSFET apps
Improvements to the Cleverscope CS448 — an isolated high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) four-channel 200MHz 14-bit oscilloscope — let it measure high voltages – now up to 1,600 V – for fast slew-rate signals such as those in a full or three-phase power electronics switching bridge. Examples of challenging measurement tasks the CS448 can handle […]
Working with the PicoScope PC-based oscilloscope
A PC-based oscilloscope, or USB oscilloscope as it is also known, has a lot going for it. For one thing, it costs substantially less than a bench model with equivalent specifications, given that most users already own the major component. The PC or Mac provides the processing and display parts of the equation. (The computer, […]
