Low Cost, General Purpose PC Oscilloscopes

Pico PS 2104

The PS 2104 and PS 2105 are single channel hand held PC based oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and multimeter.   Utilizing fast 480 Mb/s transfer rate of USB 2.0 these units are supplied with power from your computer.

• 1 Channel

• 50 MS/s sampling rate

• 1 GS/s repetitive signals

• 10 MHz bandwidth

• 8,000 sample buffer memory

• No power supply required

• USB 2.0 connection for fast screen updates

Pico PS 2105

These units provide all the functionality of conventional scopes at a fraction of the price.  The small size of PicoScope handheld oscilloscopes makes them ideal for portable use, while still including the powerful features normally found in larger oscilloscopes. The PicoScope 2105 has a 100 megasample per second real-time sampling rate. For repetitive signals the sampling rate can be increased to 2 gigasamples per second using digital equivalent-time sampling. These high sampling rates combined with a 24,000 sample buffer memory and 25 MHz analogue bandwidth make the PicoScope 2105 suitable for a wide range of trouble-shooting tasks on both analogue and digital circuits. The entry-level PicoScope 2104 is also available for use in less demanding applications.

• 1 Channel
• 100 MS/s sampling rate
• 2 GS/s repetitive signals
• 25 MHz bandwidth
• 24,000 sample buffer memory
• No power supply required
• USB 2.0 connection for fast screen updates

Using your PicoScope handheld oscilloscope could not be easier: plug-and-play technology allows you to simply plug the oscilloscope into a USB port and start using it straight away. No need for power supplies, additional oscilloscope probes or complex installation procedures.

Designed for single-handed operation, the oscilloscope can be controlled using a button located on the top of the scope. Press the button to start the oscilloscope; the button will flash green to indicate the scope is running. A beam of light will illuminate the tip of the scope so you can clearly see the area being probed. Once you’ve captured your signal, press the button again. The button will glow red to indicate the scope has stopped.

To make your oscilloscope even easier to use you can activate PicoScope’s powerful autosetup function by simply holding down the button. The autosetup function will automatically set up the timebase and trigger configuration to display the signal that PicoScope finds on the scope’s input.

PicoScope, PS 2202

The PicoScope 2202 entry level oscilloscope is ideally suited for use by hobbyists and students, yet with its fast sampling rate it is also powerful enough to be used by electronics technicians for scientific, and general analog and digital circuitry.

With a fast USB 2.0 interface, 20 MS/s sampling and 2 MHz bandwidth the PicoScope 2202 provides the performance, features and quality you would expect from a Pico oscilloscope, all at an affordable price.

The PicoScope 2202 is the latest low-cost PC oscilloscope from Pico — the world leader in PC oscilloscope design.

The PicoScope 2202, dual channel, USB oscilloscope uses the same powerful technology as the acclaimed PicoScope 3000 series of professional PC oscilloscopes.  This inexpensive oscilloscope is suitable for use on any laptop or desktop PC, with a USB port, running Microsoft Windows 98SE or above. Simply plug the PicoScope into the USB port, no power supply is required, and the PicoScope is ready to use.

With oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer and data logger functions, all in an easy-to-use PC-based unit, the PicoScope 2202 represents outstanding value for money and an inexpensive solution to your test and measurement needs.

PicoScope, PS 2203

PicoScope, PS 2204

The PicoScope 2204 is the midrange product for the PS2000 series.   This unit contains all the features of the PS2203 with increased performance.

PicoScope, PS 2205

The PicoScope 2205 is the top of the line unit in the PS2000 series.  This units increases the sample rate, bandwidth, and memory depth.  It also give you pulse width, dropout, window, logic advanced triggers. 

PicoScope software is supplied free with all Pico oscilloscopes. PicoScope software allows you to view real-time signals, zoom in on your signal, and save and print captured waveforms. The user-friendly controls and familiar Windows graphical interface ensures that using PicoScope is both fast and easy.

PicoScope includes various features designed to reduce the time you need to set up and use your oscilloscope: along with over 30 automated measurements PicoScope also features an auto setup function. The auto setup function can be used to automatically set up the timebase, channels and trigger configuration to display any signals that PicoScope finds on the oscilloscope's inputs. You can also customize PicoScope by adding your own ‘test menus’. These menus can load reference waveforms or instrument settings, and they can display documents that give an explanation of the waveform, or details on how to perform the required tests.

The PicoScope software is regularly updated and all updates can be downloaded for free.  For update notifications sign up for the monthly newsletter which also includes new product announcements and PicoScope user tips.

Also supplied is PicoLog data acquisition software that transforms your PC scope into a high-speed data logger.
