PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscope

Model:6403E/ 6404E/6405E/6406E/6424E/6425E/6426E/6804E/6824E

The PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes are as powerful as any traditional scope, with the advantage of a small form that fits easily on your desk. The 6000E Series has oscilloscopes with up to 3 GHz bandwidth, FlexRes® models with up to 12-bit resolution (up to 16-bit with resolution enhancement enabled), plus up to 4 GS of memory - the deepest as standard in its class. With up to eight analog channels plus 16 digital channels and an arbitrary waveform generator able to produce up to 50 MHz signals, to the PicoScope 6000E Series can ably rise to any task.

The ultra-deep memory, combined with 40 serial decoders included as standard, creates an oscilloscope that excels at debugging and monitoring digital systems. At the same time, the careful analog design creates a front end with 60 dB of SFDR, excellent pulse response and minimal crosstalk.

 

All of these features are accessible through the free PicoScope software, with regular updates, lifelong technical support and no hidden costs.

 
Flexibility without compromise

Flexibility without compromise

The PicoScope 6000E Series works with PicoScope 7, PicoSDK® or PicoLog 6. Combine masks, advanced digital triggers, automated measurements and actions with up to 40 000 waveforms stored in the buffer to spot rare timing errors, glitches and dropouts during long tests with no coding required. Or, use the PicoSDK to create your own applications from scratch.

 

Unlike old-fashioned SCPI interfaces, our C-based DLLs gives access to every single part of the hardware and can stream up to 312 million samples per second. Integrate a PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscope into your setup and use the advanced triggers and precise (single sample resolution) trigger timestamping to monitor system performance with no false positives or negatives.

 

The PicoScope 6000E's ultra-deep memory is managed on-device with features such as downsampling and data aggregation to reduce latency, while retaining the original capture data if more detailed analysis is required.
