Pico Technology (www.picotech.com) has introduced PicoScope 2105, a handheld oscilloscope that offers the functionality of traditional benchtop oscilloscopes.

With a maximum real-time sampling rate of 100 MS/s and a bandwidth of up to 25 MHz, the PicoScope 2105 converts the users desktop PC or laptop into a powerful oscilloscope, meter and spectrum analyzer.

For repetitive signals, the scope’s sampling rate can be adjusted to two GS/s via digital equivalent-time sampling. The device high sampling rates together with its analog bandwidth of 25 MHz and large buffer memory of 24,000 samples make the scope perfect for various troubleshooting tasks on both digital and analog circuits.

Pico has ergonomically designed the PicoScope 2105 to conveniently fit into the user’s hand. It is compact, lightweight, affordable, and is ideal for use by students, technician, hobbyist, and anyone in search for an easy-to-use oscilloscope that offers all the powerful features generally found in bigger oscilloscopes.
