It used to be the case that only a few kinds of relatively simple instruments were based on PCs. Now several categories of lab-grade instrumentation take the PC approach. Trevor Smith, Pico Technology The diversity of measurements that must be made by electronics engineers constitutes a huge challenge. The debugging and validation of components and […]

Moku:Go is a software-enabled hardware platform that can fit in a backpack. It was designed for portability, flexibility and durability, to take not just […]
PC-based scopes sport two 12-bit, 2.5 TSa/sec equivalent-time sampling channels
The PicoScope two-channel 9402 Sampler-Extended Real-time Oscilloscope (SXRTO) series comesin two models: the 9402-05 and the 9402-16 with 5-GHz and 16-GHz bandwidth respectively. They complement the already available four-channel models at a lower price point. Designed to analyze repetitive or clock-derived signals, they feature two high-resolution 12-bit channels driven by the equivalent-time sampling (ETS) of […]
PC-based scopes include two-channel 5-GHz and 16-GHz models
The PicoScope 9402-05 and 9402-16 two-channel models join the 9404-05 and 9404-16 four-channel models that are candidates for viewing repetitive or clock-derived signals. All models feature high-resolution 12-bit channels, each supported by real-time sampling to 500 MS/sec/channel and up to 2.5 TS/sec (0.4 psec) random equivalent-time sampling. The wideband inputs with fine timing and voltage […]
PC-based scopes feature 20-MHz bandwidth, 80 MS/sec sampling speed
The new PicoScope 4000A Series PC-based oscilloscopes is a second-generation upgrade and expansion of Pico’s high-resolution, deep-memory product portfolio. With two, four and eight-channel models available, the PicoScope 4000A Series boasts 12-bit hardware resolution (to 16 bits with Resolution Enhancement), 256-MS-deep capture memory, 20-MHz bandwidth with 80 MS/sec sampling speed, up to 70 dB SFDR […]
PC-based scopes provide up to eight 12-bit channels
The PicoScope PS4000A Series of 20-MHz USB 3.0-connected PC oscilloscopes provide two, four, or eight high-resolution analog channels. These portable scopes have a compact footprint with BNC connectors that accept all common probes and accessories. With a high vertical resolution of 12 bits, 20-MHz bandwidth, 256-MSa buffer memory, and a fast sampling rate of 80 […]
PC-based automotive scope adds EV test diagnostics
The new PicoScope 4425A EV Oscilloscope Kit is designed to provide a comprehensive diagnostics capability for all types of vehicles with electric (BEV, MHEV, PHEV, Fuel-cell) and internal combustion (diesel, gasoline, LPG) powertrains. It provides service shops with a futureproof system for analyzing vehicles with high-voltage batteries and electric motor systems. In combination with the […]
