Small And Portable Picoscope 3000 Series Usb-powered Pc Oscilloscopes And Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes

PicoScope 3000 Series USB-powered PC oscilloscopes are small, light, and portable and can easily slip into a laptop bag while offering a range of high-performance specifications.

These oscilloscopes offer 2 or 4 analog channels and a built-in function / arbitrary waveform generator. MSO models add 16 digital channels. Key performance specifications:

- 200 MHz analog bandwidth
- 1 GS/s real-time sampling
- 512 MS buffer memory
- 100,000 waveforms per second
- 16 channel logic analyzer (MSO models)
- Decode over 30 serial protocols as standard
- Arbitrary waveform generator
- USB 3.0 connected and powered
- Serial decoding and mask testing as standard
- Windows, Linux and Mac software

Supported by the advanced PicoScope software, these devices offer an ideal, cost-effective package for many applications, including embedded systems design, research, test, education, service, and repair

Mixed-signal capability / logic analyzer :

The PicoScope 3000D Series Mixed-Signal Oscilloscopes include 16 digital inputs so that you can view digital and analog signals simultaneously.

The digital inputs can be displayed individually or in named groups with binary, decimal or hexadecimal values shown in a bus-style display. A separate logic threshold from a 5 V to +5 V can be defined for each 8-bit input port. The digital trigger can be activated by any bit pattern combined with an optional transition on any input. Advanced logic triggers can be set on either the analog or digital input channels, or both to enable complex mixed-signal triggering.

The digital inputs bring extra power to the serial decoding options. You can decode serial data on all analog and digital channels simultaneously, giving you up to 20 channels of data. You can for example decode multiple SPI, IA C, CAN bus, LIN bus and FlexRay signals all at the same time!

Serial bus decoding and protocol analysis

PicoScope can decode 1-Wire, ARINC 429, CAN & CAN FD, CAN XL, DALI, DCC, DMX512, Ethernet 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, FlexRay, IA C, IA S, I3C, LIN, PS/2, Manchester, MIL-STD-1553, MODBUS, SENT, SPI, Parallel Bus, PMBus, Quadrature, SBS Data, SENT Fast/Slow, SMBus, SPI MISO/MOSI, SPI SDIO, UART (RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485), and USB 1.1 protocol data as standard, with more protocols in development and available in the future with free-of-charge software upgrades.

Graph format shows the decoded data (in hex, binary, decimal, or ASCII) in a data bus timing format, beneath the waveform on a common time axis, with error frames marked in red. These frames can be zoomed in to investigate noise or signal integrity issues.

Table format shows a list of the decoded frames, including the data and all flags and identifiers. You can set up filtering conditions to display only the frames you are interested in or search for frames with specified properties. The statistics option reveals more detail about the physical layer such as frame times and voltage levels. PicoScope can also import a spreadsheet to decode the data into user-defined text strings.
