EEA shortlist: Pico Technology

Exhibitors at electronica have been approached to submit their most innovative and show-stopping products.

PicoScope 3000E series are the world's first PC-based 5 GS/s oscilloscopes. They have four models, with 350 and 500MHz bandwidth respectively and MSO versions, have 5GS/s sampling rate and 10 bits resolution (up to 14 bits with enhanced resolution). They set the standard for next generation waveform measurement and analysis with power, performance, and portability in the field of test and measurement equipment.

These latest additions to the PicoScope 3000 series, coupled with PicoScope 7 software, are designed to meet the diverse needs of engineers, technicians and researchers worldwide.

PicoScope 3000E series are laboratory-class instruments but at just 221 x 173 x 300mm size and 0.7kg weight are small and portable enough for home field working.

New, higher performance electronic component technologies and evolving industry standards present fresh challenges for electronic product developers. Clock and data speeds are increasing, voltage tolerances are becoming finer, and design complexity continues to climb. Component testing and circuit debugging requires a deep understanding of both hardware and software, as well as the ability to correlate issues across both. This can be challenging; debug and validation tools that served the last generation of technology do not cut it for the next.

Oscilloscopes are the primary tools used by designers to view and analyse the performance of their prototype circuits before committing to production. Used in conjunction with other test and measurement  tools and in-circuit debuggers oscilloscopes give insight that enables the designer to identify logic and timing errors, communication faults, signal integrity issues and range-of-operation reliability statistics.
