PicoScope 3000 Series

Benefits of USB connectivity

All PicoScope 3000D Series oscilloscopes feature a SuperSpeed USB

3.0 connection, providing high-speed data transfer whilst remaining

compatible with older USB systems. A USB oscilloscope offers

many benefits over a traditional benchtop device:

• Size and portability

These compact, portable scopes are ideal for use both in the lab and

in the field. Unlike traditional benchtop instruments, PicoScopes take

up less space on your workbench and easily fit in to your laptop bag

or tool case. PicoScope 3000D Series oscilloscopes can be powered

from the USB port, removing the need to carry an external power

supply.

• Flexibility

The PicoScope software offers a breadth of advanced features via a user-friendly interface. As well as the standard Windows installation,

PicoScope Beta software also works effectively on Linux and Mac operating systems, giving you the freedom to choose which platform you

operate your PicoScope from.

• File sharing

PC connectivity makes printing, copying, saving and emailing your data from the field quick and easy.

• Advanced display

Laptop screens and desktop monitors offer higher resolution, larger size and greater flexibility for displaying your signal.

• Value

With PicoScope you only pay for the specialised scope hardware. You don’t need to repurchase the hardware already available on your PC.

• Updates

As the scope is connected to your computer, both the PicoScope software and the device’s firmware can be quickly updated free of charge.

• Fast transfer rates

A USB 3.0 connection provides fast saving of waveforms when using the PicoScope software, and fast gap-free continuous streaming of up

to 125 MS/s when using the SDK. The quick transfer rates ensure a fast screen update speed, even when collecting large amounts of data.

Math channels

The integrated math functions of PicoScope 6 allow you to

perform a variety of mathematical calculations on the input

signals of your PicoScope oscilloscope. With the click of a

button you can invert, add, subtract, multiply and divide

channels, or create your own functions.

To add a math channel, just click a button and a wizard will

guide you through the process. You can quickly select one of

the built–in functions, such as inversion or addition, or open

the equation editor to create complex functions involving

filters (low pass, high pass, band pass and band stop filters),

trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms, statistics, integrals and

derivatives. You can control the entire process using either

your mouse or keyboard.

With PicoScope math channels you can display up to eight real

or calculated channels in each scope view. If you run out of

space, just open another scope view and add more.

Custom probe settings

Custom probes allow you to correct for gain, attenuation, offsets and nonlinearities of probes, transducers, and other sensors, or convert

to different measurement units such as current, power or temperature. Definitions for standard Pico-supplied probes are built in, but you

can also create your own using linear scaling or even an interpolated data table, and save them for later use.
