Getting familiar with work-at-home instrumentation
The rise in social distancing has fostered a need for professional-grade test instruments that function as well at home as in the lab. David Horn | Digilent The events that have unfolded across the world since the beginning of 2020 have turned the global marketplace upside down. Few industries have felt this seismic shift as […]
Work-at-home tools: PC-based instruments address demanding applications
Advanced technology now lets budget-priced instrumentation handle tasks once requiring specialized and pricey test gear. Trevor Smith | Pico Technology Test & Measurement With a significant segment of engineers and researchers working at home or away from their lab during the pandemic, there is a large incentive to troubleshoot designs and validate performance using systems […]
PC-based scopes boast 5 GSa/sec real-time sampling and 4 GSa-deep memory
The 4-channel PicoScope 6000E Series 500-MHz oscilloscopes provide 8 to 12 bits of vertical resolution and up to 5 GSa/sec sampling rate with 4 GSa memory, allowing these scopes to display single-shot pulses with 200-psec time resolution. The three four-channel models added to the existing eight-channel 6000 series are the PicoScope 6403E with 300-MHz bandwidth […]
PC-based scopes provide four-channel measurements
PicoScope 6000E Series compact 4+16 channel MSOs deliver cost-effective test and debugging solution for engineers, developers and scientists. Pico Technology has further developed its PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes with the launch of three new four-channel models, each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels. With bandwidths of 300 or 500 MHz, 8-bit […]
PC-based scopes host smart interfaces to handle automotive apps
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 […]
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.
