PicoScope 2000 Series oscilloscopes

Deep capture memory

PicoScope 2000 Series ‘B’ models have waveform capture buffers ranging from 32 to 128 megasamples – many times larger than competing scopes. Deep memory enables the

capture of long-duration waveforms at maximum sampling speed. In fact, some PicoScope 2000 Series models can capture 100 ms waveforms with 1 ns resolution. In contrast, the

same 100 ms waveform captured by an oscilloscope with a 10 megasample memory would have just 10 ns resolution.

Deep memory can be useful in other ways too: PicoScope 6 lets you divide the capture memory into a number of segments, up to a maximum of 10 000. You can set up a trigger

condition to store a separate capture in each segment, with as little as 1 µs dead time between captures. Once you have acquired the data, you can step through the memory one

segment at a time until you find the event you are looking for.

Powerful tools are included to allow you to manage and examine all of this data. As well as functions such as mask limit testing and color persistence mode, the PicoScope 6

software enables you to zoom into your waveform by a factor of several million. The Zoom Overview window allows you to easily control the size and location of the zoom area.

Other tools, such as the waveform buffer, serial decoding and hardware acceleration work with the deep memory, making the PicoScope 2000 Series some of the best-value

oscilloscopes on the market.
