Calibration options enhance vector network analysers
Two important calibration options have been added to its PicoVNA vector network analyser by Pico Technology.
Serial decoders for PicoScope: SMBus and SBS data
The Pico Technology serial decoders team have added another protocol to both PicoScope 6 (Stable) and PicoScope 7 (Early Access) implementations: MIPI I3C Basic specification waveforms can now be decoded, displayed and analysed on any PicoScope with sufficient bandwidth and memory depth.
Data logging software takes to the cloud
Pico Technology has announced general availability of the PicoLog Cloud data logging software.
Pico Technology celebrates 30th anniversary
Pico Technology, the UK test and measurement supplier, is celebrating 30 years of business, and 30 years of continuous sales growth.
One gigahertz mixed-signal PicoScope with active probes
Pico Technology has announced a further development of its PicoScope 6000E Series mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) with the launch of four new four-channel models, each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels. With bandwidths of 750MHz or 1GHz, 8-bit or 8/10/12-bit Flexible Resolution and up to 4 GS deep capture memory, these products enhance the existing PicoScope 6000E portfolio, adding to the 350 MHz and 500 MHz models th...
Two-channel 5 GHz and 16GHz models join PicoScope range
Pitched at a compelling and lower price point, Pico Technology has added the PicoScope 9402-05 and 9402-16 two-channel models to their already popular 5 GHz and 16 GHz SXRTOs.
Introducing the PicoScope 4000A Series high resolution oscilloscopes
This video gives a brief overview of the PicoScope 4000A Series oscilloscopes with 2-, 4- or 8-channels of high resolution.
PC-based scope has 20MHZ bandwidth, 80MS/s sampling speed
Pico Technology has unveiled availability of the new PicoScope 4000A Series PC-based oscilloscopes, a second-generation upgrade and expansion of the company's high-resolution, deep-memory product portfolio.
This is Dave: a probe positioning system story
Oscilloscopes with more than two channels present humans with a common problem: none of us have enough hands to hold more than two oscilloscope probes in place. This is especially an issue when using an 8-channel oscilloscope such as the new PicoScope 6800E devices, so it was particularly important for Pico Technology to address it.
PicoVNA 108 8.5GHz vector network analyser
The market and range of applications for the vector network analyser has continued to rise. Growth is not simply driven by the proliferation of microwave, gigabit and wireless signals in our lives, but also in penetrating and short-range radar imaging and proximity detection in secure spaces, and in dielectric materials, tissues and composites. The vector network analyser sits behind data flow, communications, food, healthcare, defence, civil inf...
4-channel oscilloscopes bolster PicoScope 6000E Series
Three new 4-channel models, each of which can be configured with 16 optional digital channels have added more T&M muscle to Pico Technology’s PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes.
A smarter oscilloscope for faster debug
Pico Technology has announced the PicoScope 6000E Series FlexRes oscilloscopes, featuring eight channels with 500 MHz bandwidth, 16 digital channels, and resolution of eight, ten or 12 bits. The products work with PicoScope 6 application software, which takes full advantage of the latest PC performance and display capabilities, showing clean, crisp waveforms on screens of any size and resolution.
Decoder/analyser package aids automotive Ethernet testing
A BroadR-Reach decoder/analyser package that simplifies Automotive Ethernet integration testing and debugging has been released by Pico Technology. The package includes a novel non-intrusive Software Directional Coupler to separate up- and downstream traffic on full-duplex communication lines.
EuMW 2019: Wizard ready to perform VNA magic in Paris
Ready to be unveiled at European Microwave Week in Paris (October 1-3), Pico Technology has unveiled a new PicoVNA Interface Wizard, which adds significant functionality and value to the company’s low-cost, high-performance vector network analyser (VNA).
DALI decoding enhances oscilloscope software
DALI decoding and analysis has been added to the latest version of PicoScope 6 software by Pico Technology. DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) provides two-way communications between lighting fixtures (“luminaires”), ballasts and controllers.
16GHz real-time oscilloscope cuts cost of time-domain sampling
Pico Technology has introduced the PicoScope 9404-16 SXRTO, a 16 GHz sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope at what it describes as “an even more compelling low price point”. The new model joins the 5GHz 9404-05 model launched earlier this year.
Software allows data loggers to support Raspberry Pi
A software package that supports the Raspberry Pi single-board computer has been released by Pico Technology. Optimised and tested on the newly-released Raspberry Pi 4, and the current 3B and 3B+ on Raspbian Stretch, the PicoLog 6 data logging software package provides a visual, easy-to-use interface allowing users to quickly set up simple or complex acquisitions and record, view and analyse data.
Pico seeks beta test applicants for Ethernet protocol decoder
The increasing use of ECUs in vehicles, and advanced signal processing, is driving the need for high performance automotive networks. 100BASE-T1 / BroadR-Reach has emerged as the physical layer standard for automotive applications.
Pico picks Manchester for software development office
Pico Technology has opened a new software development office in Manchester, UK.
Calibration standards added to vector network analysers
Pico Technology has introduced two new products to its RF portfolio. The TA430 (Insertable M-F) and TA431 (Non-insertable F-F) VNA check standards can optionally be used to validate the accuracy of a network analysis test setup and its calibration before, during or after a sequence of measurements is made.
