Pico Technology (www.picotech.com) has launched a four channel oscilloscope that allows users to measure non-ground or floating referenced signals without the need for costly differential probes or preamplifiers.
The PicoScope 3425 features a common mode and differential range of up to 400 V, allowing it to measure both low level and high voltage signals. High voltage applications typically include capturing waveforms from telephone cables, from switch mode power supplies, hybrid vehicles and motor inverters. The oscilloscope’s high impedance differential inputs allow users to measure sensitive amplifiers and bridge type sensors for load, pressure and strain.
Offering five MHz bandwidth, a maximum sample rate of 20 MS/s, and a buffer memory of 512 kS, the USB oscilloscope is housed in a tough carry case, which comes complete with leads, probes, adaptors and clips needed for taking differential measurements. The oscilloscope requires no complicated set up — users simply have to install the software and connect the oscilloscope to the Windows PC’s USB.
The PicoScope 3425’s lightweight and compact design makes it ideal for users who are always on the run. Its anti-slip case allows users to use the oscilloscope either vertically or horizontally, making it suitable for work environments with limited space.
Designed with feature-packed PicoScope 6 oscilloscope software, the PicoScope 3425 allows users to store multiple events in its waveform memory with its familiar Windows interface, while data from the oscilloscope can be exported in binary, text and graphical formats. The oscilloscope package also comes with a five year warranty.
