Small, light and portable
Pico is once again redefining PC-based oscilloscopes with up to 500 MHz bandwidth and 5 GS/s in a compact, lightweight and portable, USB powered package.
The PicoScope 3000E Series is a range of USB-powered PC oscilloscopes offering 4 analog channels plus 16 digital logic analyzer channels on MSO models. PicoScope 3000E oscilloscopes provide high-performance specifications ideal for engineers working on advanced electronics and diverse embedded system technologies, either in the laboratory or on the move.
The advanced PicoScope 7 software (Windows, macOS or Linux) is easy to use while offering high-end features including 40 serial decoders, mask limit testing and an array of advanced measurements and maths functions.
A software development kit (PicoSDK) is also available for customers wanting to write their own software or use 3rd party applications such as LabVIEW and MATLAB.
