PicoScope 3000 Series

Signal integrity

Most oscilloscopes are built down to a price. PicoScopes are built up

to a specification.

Careful front-end design and shielding reduces noise, crosstalk, and

harmonic distortion. Years of oscilloscope design experience can be

seen in improved bandwidth flatness, low distortion, and excellent

pulse response. We are proud of the dynamic performance of our

products, and publish their specifications in detail.

The result is simple: when you probe a circuit, you can trust in the

waveform you see on the screen.

High-speed data acquisition and digitizer

The supplied drivers and software development kit (SDK) allows you to write your own software or interface to popular third-party

software packages such as National Instruments LabVIEW and MathWorks MATLAB.

The driver supports data streaming, a mode which captures gap-free continuous data over USB direct to the PC at rates of up to 125 MS/s

(subject to PC specifications). The capture size is limited only by available PC storage.

Beta drivers are also available for use with Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, and similar ARM-powered platforms. These drivers enable you

to control your PicoScope using these small, single-board Linux computers.

Spectrum analyzer

By simply clicking the spectrum button

you can display a spectrum plot of selected channels up to the full bandwidth of the oscilloscope.

A full range of settings gives you control over the number of spectrum bands, window types, and display modes (instantaneous, average, or

peak hold).

You can display multiple spectrum views with different channel selections and zoom factors, and place these alongside time-domain views of

the same data. A comprehensive set of automatic frequency-domain measurements can be added to the display, including THD, THD+N,

SNR, SINAD and IMD. You can even use the AWG and spectrum mode together to perform swept scalar network analysis.
