St Neots, UK, 7th
April 2006. Pico Technology
introduces the PicoScope 2104 and 2105, the
lightweight, high-performance PC
Oscilloscopes designed to fit in your hand.
These cost-effective instruments give you
all the capabilities of a conventional
oscilloscope in a compact probe that you can
carry anywhere.
With the new PicoScope 2105 USB PC
Oscilloscope, Pico Technology has packed
many of the features of a high-performance
bench-top oscilloscope into a small,
lightweight instrument that can be held like
an oscilloscope probe. When used with the
PicoScope software supplied, the PicoScope
2105 converts any laptop or desktop PC with
USB support into a powerful oscilloscope,
without the need for additional
probes or
power supplies. An entry-level version, the
PicoScope 2104, is also available to suit
less demanding applications.
The PicoScope 2105 is suitable for a wide
range of troubleshooting tasks on analogue
and digital circuits. It has high
performance, with a 100 megasample per
second real-time sampling rate, a
repetitive-signal sampling rate of 2
gigasamples per second provided by digital
equivalent-time sampling, and a 25 MHz
analogue bandwidth. The instrument has eight
input voltage ranges from ±100 mV to ±20 V.
The USB interface and plug-and-play software
make installation easy, and the user can set
up, start and stop the unit by pressing a
single pushbutton. A beam of light from the
probe tip illuminates the area under test.
The PicoScope 2104 and 2105 PC
Oscilloscopes are supplied with the
PicoScope oscilloscope software and PicoLog
data logging software, a 32-bit driver with
fully documented programming interface, and
example programs in C, Visual Basic, Delphi,
LabVIEW and VEE. The software is compatible
with Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 and XP.
Alan Tong, Managing Director at Pico
Technology, said “We have produced two
highly capable and compact PC Oscilloscopes
that engineers and technicians can carry
around with them. With a PicoScope 2104 or
2105 and our free software CD, any PC or
laptop can become a high-speed PC
Oscilloscope.”
