Pico Technology Ltd. Company Overview

A 4-channel oscilloscope and MSO that simultaneously achieves high-precision measurement and high-speed sampling, operating on USB Type-C bus power. Pico Technology, the market leader in PC oscilloscopes, has announced the new PicoScope 5000E series oscilloscopes as a compact oscilloscope series powered by USB Type-C for engineers. It addresses the need for measuring high-sensitivity signals with small amplitudes and debugging analog, digital, and mixed signals. The PicoScope 5000E series offers true 16-bit resolution, a maximum bandwidth of 200 MHz, a sampling rate of 2.5 GS/s, and 1 GS of capture memory. The PicoScope 5000E Plus series models include a switchable 8-bit high-speed mode with a maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz, a sampling rate of 5 GS/s, and 2 GS of deep memory, providing both high-resolution, high-precision oscilloscope and 500 MHz high-speed debugging oscilloscope functionalities in one unit.

The compact and lightweight PC oscilloscopes from Pico Technology enable the analysis of multi-channel signals necessary for the installation and adjustment of large-scale systems at a low cost. They are also ideal for embedded systems requiring multi-channel analysis. The PicoScope 2000 series achieves high performance with 4 channels, 100 MHz bandwidth, and 1 GS/s sampling rate, all while being lightweight at 200g and pocket-sized (130 x 104 x 18.8 mm). The PicoScope 4000A series model 4824A, with a tablet-sized body of 190 x 170 x 40 mm and weighing 550g, allows for detailed measurements with 8 channels, 20 MHz bandwidth, and 12-bit resolution. It is powered by bus power from the PC, eliminating the need for a dedicated power supply. The dedicated software PicoScope 7 can be downloaded for free, ensuring access to the latest software at any time. It operates on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Additionally, 40 types of serial protocol decoding functions are also provided free of charge.

Pico Technology (headquartered in Cambridge, UK) has added three new models of 6 GHz, 16 GHz, and 33 GHz to the existing 25 GHz model, the PicoScope 9404A-25, providing users with a wide range of options. The 33 GHz model features a rise time of less than 12 picoseconds, enabling high-precision measurements of fast signals. All models in the 9404A series have a vertical resolution of 12 bits and boast an RMS jitter performance of 1.5 picoseconds.
