PicoScope 2000 Series 2-CHANNEL OSCILLOSCOPES WITH ARBITRARY WAVEFORM GENERATOR High Quality from a Name You Can Trust 10 MHz to 200 MHz bandwidths Up to 1 GS/s sampling rate Advanced digital triggers Persistence display modes Mask limit testing Serial decoding Fast USB 2.0 interface USB-powered and portable Free software upgrades Supplied with a full Software Development Kit including example programs Software compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 Free Technical Support www.picotech.comPicoScope 2000 Series Oscilloscopes PicoScope for power, portability and versatility Arbitrary waveform and function generator These handy, economical oscilloscopes All units have a built-in function have all the power you need for your generator with sine, square, application, whether its design, triangle, DC level and many research, test, education, service more standard waveforms. or repair. They are available with As well as level, offset and bandwidths from 10 MHz to 200 MHz. frequency controls, more advanced options allow you PicoScope oscilloscopes are small, light to sweep over a range of and portable. They easily slip into a frequencies. Combined with laptop bag and so are ideal for the the spectrum peak hold option, engineer on the move. They dont need an external power supply, so they this creates a powerful tool are perfect for field use. The connection to your PC means that functions for testing amplifier and filter such as printing, copying and email are always at your fingertips. responses. The PicoScope 2000 Series scopes also include a full arbitrary waveform The first USB-powered 1 GS/s oscilloscopes generator. Waveforms can be created or edited using the built-in AWG The series includes the first USB-powered oscilloscopes to offer a 1 GS/s editor, imported from oscilloscope traces, or loaded from a spreadsheet. real-time sampling rate, previously possible only with mains-powered instruments. Most other USB-powered oscilloscopes are limited to only Spectrum analyzer 100 or 200 MS/s. For repetitive signals, equivalent-time sampling (ETS) mode boosts the maximum effective sampling rate even higher to 10 GS/s, With the click of a button, allowing exceptionally fine timing resolution. you can display a spectrum plot of selected channels. The spectrum analyzer allows Digital triggering signals up to the full scope Most digital oscilloscopes sold today bandwidth to be viewed in the still use an analog trigger architecture frequency domain. A full range based on comparators. This can cause of settings gives you control time and amplitude errors that cannot over the number of spectrum always be calibrated out. The use of bands, window types and comparators often limits the trigger display modes: instantaneous, sensitivity at high bandwidths and can average, or peak-hold. also create a long trigger re-arm delay. PicoScope allows you to display multiple spectrum views with different Since 1991 we have been pioneering the use of fully digital triggering channel selections and zoom factors, and see these alongside time-domain using the actual digitized data. This reduces trigger errors and allows our waveforms of the same data. A comprehensive set of automatic frequency- oscilloscopes to trigger on the smallest signals, even at the full bandwidth. domain measurements, including THD, THD+N, SNR, SINAD and IMD, Trigger levels and hysteresis can be set with great precision and resolution. can be added to the display. The reduced re-arm delay provided by digital triggering, together with segmented memory, allows the capture of events that happen in rapid Math channels sequence. At the fastest timebase, rapid triggering can capture a new The PicoScope 2000 Series waveform every 2 microseconds until the buffer is full. The mask limit oscilloscopes offer a full testing feature (see below) helps to detect waveforms that fail to meet range of math functions for your specifications. processing and combining channels. The functions can also operate on reference Advanced triggers waveforms. As well as the standard range of triggers found on all oscilloscopes, the PicoScope 2000 Series offers one of the best selections of advanced Use the built-in list for simple triggers available, including pulse width, windowed and dropout triggers functions such as addition and to help you find your signal quickly. inversion, or open the equation editor and create complex Custom probe settings functions involving trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms, statistics, integrals and derivatives. The custom probes feature allows you to correct for gain, attenuation, offsets and nonlinearities in special Measurements probes, or to convert to different units of measurement (such as current, power or temperature). You can save definitions to disk for later use. Definitions for standard Pico-supplied oscilloscope probes You can add any combination of automatic measurements to the and current clamps are built in. display, chosen from a list of 26 scope and spectrum parameters. Every measurement includes statistics of minimum, maximum, average, standard deviation and sample size.
