  • Picoscope 3000 Series User Guide 2 Introduction
    Welcome 1 1 Welcome The PicoScope 3000 Series of PC Oscilloscopes from Pico Technology is a range of high-specification, real-time measuring instruments that connect to the USB port of your computer. The oscilloscopes obtain their power supply through the USB cable, so they do not need an additional power supply and are therefore highly portable. The 3000 Series consists of two ranges: General-purpose range (PicoScope 3204, 3205 and 3206 variants) High-precision range (PicoScope 3224 and 3424 variants) With the PicoScope software you can use PicoScope 3000 Series PC Oscilloscopes as oscilloscopes and spectrum analysers; and with the PicoLog software you can use them as data loggers. Alternatively, using the API functions, 16 you can develop your own programs to collect and analyse data from the oscilloscope. A typical PicoScope 3000 Series PC Oscilloscope is supplied with the following items: USB cable, for use with USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports Software and Reference CD Installation Guide Copyright 2006-7 Pico Technology Limited.

Read all safety documentation associated with the product before using it. Symbol 2: Equipotential This symbol indicates that the outer shells of the indicated BNC connectors are all at the same potential (shorted together). You must therefore take necessary precautions to avoid applying a potential across the return connections of the indicated BNC terminals as this may cause a large current to flow, resulting in damage to the product and/or connected equipment.

Most digital oscilloscopes sold today still use an analog trigger architecture The new PicoScope 3000 Series offers the highest performance available based on comparators. This can cause time and amplitude errors that from any USB-powered oscilloscope on cannot always be calibrated out. The use of comparators often limits the the market today. trigger sensitivity at high bandwidths and can also create a long trigger The PicoScope 3000 Series has the power “re-arm” delay. and performance for many applications, Since 1991 we have been pioneering the use of fully digital triggering such as design, research, test, education, using the actual digitized data. This reduces trigger errors and allows our service and repair. oscilloscopes to trigger on the smallest signals, even at the full bandwidth.

These oscilloscopes offer 2 or 4 analog channels, plus an additional 16 digital channels on the mixed-signal (MSO) models. The flexible, high-quality display options enable you to view and analyze each signal in fine detail. All models come with a built-in function generator and arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Operating together with the PicoScope 6 software, these devices offer an ideal, cost-effective package for many applications, including embedded systems design, research, test, education, service, and repair. PicoScope 3000 Series High bandwidth, high sampling rate, deep memory Despite their compact size and low cost, there is no compromise on performance, with input bandwidths up to 200 MHz. This bandwidth is matched by a real-time sampling rate of up to 1 GS/s, enabling detailed display of high frequencies. For repetitive signals, the maximum effective sampling rate can be boosted to 10 GS/s using equivalent time sampling (ETS) mode.
