Software lets data loggers/scopes stream data to cloud storage
The PicoLog Cloud data logging software enables any Pico data logger or real-time oscilloscope to save data to a local disk or stream the capture directly to a secure online Cloud store. Uers can set up and control captures on a source PC and then remotely view them on any number of client devices running […]
Testbed productivity updates reduce testing time
OctoBox software 2.0 is a new version of the web user interface (UI) that controls octoBox testbeds. The innovative octoBox software 2.0 brings important productivity updates that will reduce the time needed for testing. A new dashboard mode allows engineers to create test scenarios more easily, while better data visualization and plots make the results […]
Five key considerations for spectrum analyzers
A bevy of specifications define how spectrum analyzers perform. But just a handful of qualities can be pivotal when it comes to selecting instrumentation. Contributed by Signal Hound As wireless technologies pervade our lives, more engineers find they must make RF measurements. In the past, RF testing required the use of expensive equipment handled only […]
Sorting out PC-based instrumentation
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 […]
USB scope features low noise, four channels, 1 GSa/sec signal acquisition
The Handyscope HS6 is a USB 3.0 oscilloscope is available in models with 200 MSa/sec up to 1 GSa/sec sampling rate. The Handyscope HS6 has a flexible resolution that can be set from 8 bit to 16 bit, allowing high-resolution measurements. With its high accuracy (0.25 %) and low noise (240 μVRMS), measured signals are […]
Active-probe PC-based scopes feature up to 5 GSa/sec real-time sampling, 4-GSa-deep memory
New 750-MHz and 1-GHz models have been added to the four-channel PicoScope 6000E Series, which provide 8 to 12 bits of vertical resolution, and up to 5GSa/sec sampling rate with a 4-GSa memory, allowing these scopes to display single-shot pulses with up to 200 psec time resolution. The four new four-channel models added to the […]
PC-based mixed-signal scopes sport 1-GHz bandwidth, active probes
The PicoScope 6000E Series mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) new include four new four-channel models, each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels. With bandwidths of 750 MHz or 1 GHz, 8-bit or 8/10/12-bit Flexible Resolution and up to 4-GS-deep capture memory, these products enhance the existing PicoScope 6000E portfolio, adding to the 350 […]
Combo instrument platform designed to help science and engineering students
Moku:Go is billed as a complete, portable platform designed to bring the engineering lab anywhere and usher in a new era of scientific and engineering education at universities around the world. 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 […]
