The PicoScope 3200 range are part of the 3000 series – fourth generation of PC oscilloscopes. In this price range they give you outstanding performance and are an inexpensive replacement for traditional benchtop oscilloscopes. Oscilloscopes in the PicoScope 3200 range all feature a high-speed USB 2.0 interface, together with impressive sampling rates, high bandwidths and a large buffer memory.

PicoScope 3200 Series computer oscilloscopes 3204, 3205, 3206 simply connect to the USB port on any standard Windows based computer, making full use of your PC’s processing capabilities, large screens and familiar graphical user interfaces. If you’re a PC Oscilloscope owner looking for a scope that offers outstanding performance and ease of use, the PicoScope 3200 range is your perfect choice.

As a general purpose oscilloscope, the large memory and high bandwidths of the PicoScope 3200 range of PC oscilloscopes make them ideal for use in all areas of test and measurement — from manufacturing and repair to research and development.

Powerful enough to replace your benchtop oscilloscope

All three PicoScopes in the 3200 range feature high bandwidths and sampling rates previously not available with PC-based oscilloscopes. The PicoScope 3206 has an impressive 200 MHz analogue bandwidth and a single-shot sampling rate of 200 MS/s. Using Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS) for repetitive signals, the sampling rate is increased to 10 GS/s.

PicoScope PC oscilloscopes have the following advantages over traditional bench top instruments:

• Waveform storage is limited only by the PC’s storage capability
• Captured waveforms and instrument settings can easily be shared with others
• New functionality through free software upgrades
• Compact and portable design

Built-in signal generator

The PicoScope 3204 can output a fixed 1 kHz square wave for compensating oscilloscope probes. The signal generators built into the PicoScope 3205 and 3206 can output sine, square and triangle waves up to 1 MHz in frequency. A useful feature is the sweep function that can be combined with the spectrum analyzer peak hold function to quickly test the bandwidth response of filters and amplifiers.
