The benchtop oscilloscope that fits in your bag
Your PicoScope 3000 oscilloscope has the power to perform in many applications previously the domain of traditional benchtop oscilloscopes — from design and research, to education, service and repair.
Unlike benchtop oscilloscopes, your PicoScope oscilloscope is small and light enough to take with you. Your PicoScope easily fits into a laptop bag — great for the engineer on the move, or when you want to show off the power and performance of your PicoScope to others. Of course, being USB powered there is no need for an external power supply so your PicoScope oscilloscope really can be used wherever and whenever you want.
Advanced triggers
As well as the standard range of triggers found on all oscilloscopes, your PicoScope 3000 scope gives you a class-leading set of advanced triggers including pulse width, windowed and dropout triggers to help you capture the data you need.
Digital triggering
Most digital oscilloscopes sold today still use an analog trigger architecture based around comparators. This can cause time and amplitude errors that can not always be calibrated out. The use of comparators often limits the trigger sensitivity at high bandwidths and can also create a long trigger “re-arm” delay.
Since 1991 we have been pioneering the use of fully digital triggering using the actual digitised data. This reduces trigger errors and allows your oscilloscope to trigger on the smallest signals, even at the full bandwidth. Trigger levels and hysteresis can be set with great precision and resolution. Digital triggering also reduces re-arm delay and this combined with the segmented memory allows the triggering and capture of events that happen in rapid sequence. At the fastest timebase you can use rapid triggering to collect 10,000 waveforms in under 20 milliseconds. Our mask limit testing function can then scan through these waveforms to highlight any failed waveforms for viewing in the waveform buffer.
You can trust what you see
Most oscilloscopes are built down to a price; ours are built up to a specification.
Careful front-end design and shielding reduces noise, crosstalk and harmonic distortion. Years of oscilloscope experience leads to improved pulse response and bandwidth flatness. The result is simple: when you probe a circuit, you can trust in the waveform you see on the screen.
