Since 1991, Pico — the market leader in PC oscilloscope technology — have been manufacturing PC-based oscilloscopes that are designed to meet both your budget and technical requirements. From low-cost, entry-level oscilloscopes, to high-precision PC scopes, an oscilloscope from Pico offers the functionality of a traditional digital oscilloscope, in a portable and easy-to-use package.  When used with the included PicoLog data logging software Pico oscilloscopes can also be used as high speed data loggers.
