The PicoScope 3000E Series achieves several “firsts” for USB powered scopes: first to 500 MHz, first to 5 GS/s sampling, first with 2 GS of buffer memory.
The PicoScope 3000E Series redefines PC-based oscilloscopes with up to 500 MHz bandwidth and 5 GS/s in a compact, portable, USB-powered package. PicoScope 3000E oscilloscopes are small, portable and deliver high-performance specifications ideal for engineers working on advanced electronics and diverse embedded system technologies, either in the laboratory or on the move. Offering four analog channels with a choice of 100 MHz, 200 MHz, 350 MHz and 500 MHz bandwidth options, plus 16 digital logic analyzer channels on MSO models, there's a model to suit every application and budget. Supported by the advanced PicoScope 7 Test and Measurement software, the PicoScope 3000E Series enables the rapid, cost-effective debugging and performance validation of complex analog and power electronic designs. It also offers an ideal package for many other applications, including embedded systems design, research, testing, education, service and repair.
FFT spectrum analyzer
The spectrum view plots amplitude against frequency and is ideal for finding noise, crosstalk or distortion in signals. The spectrum analyzer in PicoScope is of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) type which, unlike a traditional swept spectrum analyzer, can display the spectrum of a single, non-repeating waveform. With up to a million points, PicoScope’s FFT has excellent frequency resolution and a low noise floor.
Arbitrary waveform and function generator
All PicoScope 3000E models have a built-in function generator covering the frequency range from 100 µHz to 20 MHz. As well as basic controls to set level, offset and frequency, more advanced controls allow you to sweep over a range of frequencies. Combined with the spectrum peak-hold option, this makes a powerful tool for testing amplifier and filter responses.
Some oscilloscopes struggle when you enable deep memory; the screen update rate slows and the controls become unresponsive. The PicoScope 3000E Series avoids this limitation with the use of a dedicated fourth-generation hardware acceleration (HAL4) engine inside the oscilloscope.
Its massively parallel design effectively creates the waveform image to be displayed on the PC screen and allows the continuous capture and display to the screen of up to 2 billion samples every second. The hardware acceleration engine eliminates any concerns about the USB connection or PC processor performance being a bottleneck.
