PicoScope 9000 Series — Advanced Menus: Spectrum Analyzer
The PicoScope 9000 includes FFT spectrum analyzer mode to view signals in the frequency domain. This video demonstrates a typical application comparing the phase angles between harmonics.
PicoScope 9000 Series — Application: Mask Testing
The PicoScope 9000 can be used for pre-compliance testing of data standards. One of the methods for this is mask testing. Here, mask testing is applied to an STM4 data stream eye diagram.
PicoScope 9000 Series — Making Measurements
Using built-in measurements to characterize features of electrical signals saves time, and significantly improves measurement accuracy compared to visual and manual measurements.
PicoScope 9000 Series — Application: SATA Cable Test Using TDR
TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) can be used for pre-compliance testing of SATA cables to determine impedance and length.
World's first 1 GS/s USB-powered oscilloscope
The three new oscilloscopes in the PicoScope 2000 Series are the first USB-powered oscilloscopes to offer a real-time sampling rate of 1 GS/s. With two channels, bandwidths ranging from 50 MHz to 200 MHz, a built-in function generator, arbitrary waveform generator and external trigger input, these compact and economical scopes are perfect for engineers and technicians needing a complete test bench in a single unit.
PicoScope 9000 Series - Application: Jitter Measurement
Jitter measurement is fundamental to high-speed digital data applications. This video demonstrates 3 ways of measuring jitter using the PicoScope 9000. The data used is NRZ (non-return to zero).
PicoScope 9000 Series - TDR Basics
This video demonstrates the basics of using the TDR system on the PicoScope 9211A and 9231A sampling oscilloscopes. In this example the scope is configured for TDR, calibrated and impedance measurements made on 2 different coaxial cables.
A Digital Oscilloscope for the Analog World
The new PicoScope 4262 from Pico Technology is a 2 channel, 16 bit very–high–resolution oscilloscope (VHRO) with a built–in low–distortion signal generator. With its 5 MHz bandwidth, it can easily analyze audio, ultrasonic and vibration signals, characterize noise in switched mode power supplies, measure distortion, and perform a wide range of precision measurement tasks.
London needs 70,000 small cells for world-class mobile broadband
For London to offer genuinely world-class, LTE everywhere mobile broadband, it will require the installation of 70,000 small cells across the capital, including 2,000 nodes covering the Underground network by 2015. These findings will be presented by Picochip CTO Doug Pulley at the Bath Basestation conference, starting 27th September.

PicoScope 6407 USB Digitizer provides high-speed data capture for almost any industrial or scientific application.
The new PicoScope 6407 USB Digitizer provides high-speed data capture for almost any industrial or scientific application. With four 1 GHz 50-ohm analog inputs and a 5 GS/s sampling rate, the instrument can handle a wide variety of signals such as high-speed serial data; waveforms from automated test rigs, prototype circuits and high-frequency PCBs; radio, laser and radar IF signals; and many types of experimental data.
Pico Technology Celebrates 20th Anniversary with Fastest Ever PicoScope
The new four-channel PicoScope 6404 PC Oscilloscope has an analog bandwidth of 500 MHz. This is matched by a real–time sampling rate of 5 GS/s, which guarantees accurate representation of signals up to the full bandwidth.
Pico Technology celebrates 20th anniversary with fastest ever PicoScope!
The new four-channel PicoScope 6404 PC Oscilloscope has an analog bandwidth of 500 MHz. This is matched by a real-time sampling rate of 5 GS/s, which guarantees accurate representation of signals up to the full bandwidth. The scope also has an ultra-deep 1 gigasample buffer memory that allows capture and analysis of complex waveforms, even when sampling at full speed.
