Pico Technology PicoScope 5000D series
Today’s electronic designs employ a wide range of signal types: analog, digital, serial (both high- and low-speed), parallel, audio, video, power distribution and so on. All need to be debugged, measured and validated to ensure that the device under test is functioning correctly and within specification. To handle this variety of signal types, PicoScope 5000D Series FlexRes oscilloscopes provide 8 to 16 bits of vertical resolution, with up to 200 MHz bandwidth and 1 GSa/s sampling speed. You select the most appropriate hardware resolution for the requirements of each measurement. PicoScopes include advanced features such as mask limit testing, serial decoding, advanced triggering, automatic measurements, math channels (including the ability to plot frequency and duty cycle against time), XY mode and segmented memory. The PicoScope 5000D Series also benefits from Pico’s award-winning DeepMeasure™ feature and FlexRes flexible resolution.
Supported by the free and regularly updated PicoScope-software, these devices offer an ideal, cost-effective package for many applications, including design, research, test, education, service and repair.
The most important performance data:
- 2 or 4 analog channels, MSO models adds 16 digital channels
