PicoScope 2000 Series Oscilloscopes

The PicoScope 2000 Series offers up to 100 MHz bandwidth, sampling rates up to 1 GS/s and deep memory up to 128 MS; this compact oscilloscope is incredibly capable, and yet fits on the busiest of desks with no problem. 


The PicoScope 2000 Series offers oscilloscopes with bandwidths from 10 to 100 MHz, with the 2000A models offering unbeatable value and the 2000B models offering higher bandwidth and deeper memory for advanced analysis.

PicoScopes offer unbeatable flexibility. The tools and features included with your scope are the same across the range:

• Use resolution enhancement to add up to 4 bits of vertical resolution

• Use ETS mode to increase the effective sampling rate by up to 20 times

• Use analysis tools like measurements and serial decoders, included free in PicoScope 7

 

Accelerate your serial comms debugging with PicoScope 2000 MSO models, which have sixteen digital channels in addition to two analog channels.

100 MHz bandwidth

All of the MSO models in the PicoScope 2000 Series have 100 MHz bandwidth on digital channels: You'll be able to capture and analyze signals up to 200 Mb/s and with a minimum pulse width of just 5 ns.

±20 V inputs

While many comms protocols stick to low voltages, some can be 15 V or even higher. The MSO digital inputs can measure ±20 V, with overvoltage protection up to ±50 V.

Decode serial data

Digital inputs are perfect for decoding serial comms. The bundled PicoScope 7 software includes 39 decoders (and counting!). You can use any combination of serial decoders at once, and your only limits are the number of channels and how fast you can sample!

Compact connectors

Your MSO comes bundled with a 20-way cable and 24 test clips. The connectors fit onto a 0.1"/2.54 mm pitch header, while the removable test clips let you quickly connect onto exposed conductors. The lightweight design reduces mechanical pressure on the circuit under test.

MSO groups

Group together digital channels and display them as a bus on screen - decode it into binary, hex or decimal (signed or unsigned). Or you can combine them into a single level, which is ideal for ADC and DAC testing.

Advanced triggers

Pico's advanced trigger architecture isn't restricted to analog channels. Trigger not just on edges, but pulse widths and even logic patterns combined across analog and digital signals.

 


PicoScope 2000 Series inputs and outputs

Two channel models

On the front of your PicoScope 2000 Series, you'll find:

• Two or four input channels

• The optional 16-channel digital connector

• A function generator and arbitrary waveform generator

Four channel and MSO models

With all the measurement ports on the front, everything is easily accessible - even when your scope has been integrated into a system.

The 16-pin digital port makes debugging serial data simple, even when you have many channels to watch. And with four ground connections too, noise and interference is reduced.

Rear, all models

The PicoScope 2000 Series scopes connect to your computer (whether it's Windows-, macOS- or Linux-based) over USB. 

Saving data, taking screenshots to share, building custom applications - everything is simple, with no hunting for a memory stick to transfer data, or messing around with outdated SCPI commands.
