PicoScope 3000 Series

Serial decoding

The deep-memory PicoScope 3000 Series oscilloscopes include serial decoding capability across all channels, and can capture thousands of

frames of uninterrupted data, making them ideal devices for the job.

The decoded data can be displayed in the format of your choice: in graph, in table, or both at once.

• In graph format shows the decoded data beneath the waveform on a common time axis, with error frames

marked in red. These frames can be zoomed to investigate signal integrity (SI) issues.

• In 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, search for frames with specified

properties, or define a start pattern to signal when the program should list the data.

PicoScope also includes options to import and export the decoded data using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Serial decoding for digital signals

The PicoScope 3000 Series MSO models bring extra power to the serial decoding features. You can decode serial data on all analog and

digital inputs simultaneously, giving you up to 20 channels of data with any combination of serial protocols. For example, you can decode

multiple SPI, I²C, CAN bus, LIN bus and FlexRay signals all at the same time!
