PicoScope 3200 Series PC Based Oscilloscopes
All
the oscilloscopes in the PicoScope 3200 series feature high sampling rates, large memory buffers and high speed USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 compatible) connection. The large buffers allow the oscilloscopes to maintain high sampling rates even during relative long capture periods and up to
1M times zoom capabilities to examine the waveform in great detail.
The PicoScope is more than just an oscilloscope. The PicoScope 3200 is a multi-functioning instrument that can be used as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, multimeter and data logger. By integrating several instruments into one small unit the PicoScope 3200 PC scope gives you a cost-effective, and simple-to-use solution with all the functionality of conventional test equipment without compromising on specifications.
PS 3206A/B
The PicoScope 3206A/B has an impressive 200 MHz analog bandwidth and a single-shot sampling rate of
500 MS/s (100 MS/s dual channel). Using Equivalent Time Sampling (ETS)
for repetitive signals, the sampling rate is increased to a
staggering 10 GS/s. The PicoScope 3206A has a 64MS buffer,
whilst the PicoScope 3206B has a 128MS buffer.
PS 3205A/B
An excellent combination of cost and performance, the PicoScope 3205A/B features a 100 MHz analog bandwidth, a single-shot sampling rate of
500 MS/s, and a 5 GS/s ETS sampling rate. The PicoScope 3205A
has a 16MS buffer, whilst the PicoScope 3205B has a 32MS buffer.
PS 3204A/B
With a
60 MHz analog bandwidth, 500 MS/s sampling rate (2.5 GS/s ETS), the
PicoScope 3204 pc oscilloscope offers a low cost solution for many
of today's oscilloscope and data logging needs. The PicoScope
3204A has a 4MS buffer, whilst the PicoScope 3204B has a 8MS buffer.
A or B?
So what is the difference between a A and B model? We
realize that individuals have different requirements based on their
particular application. We also realize that everyone is on a
budget (hence the reason we began building pc based oscilloscopes in
the first place). In order to conform to our customers
requirements we are producing one series (the B's) with a full blown
arbitrary waveform generator, and another (the A's) with a lower
cost function generator.
Already built your application around the older models?
Sadly, the original PicoScope 3204,5, and 6's have been
officially discontinued. When these units were first
introduced in 2004 they completely changed the pc based oscilloscope
market. No other manufacture offered high sampling rate,
bandwidth and memory depth in one unit. To this date, these
are still some of the highest performing scopes available. Due
to the mass amount of these units that we have sold and have been
packaged into third party products we will try our best to keep as
many of these units in stock before they are sold out worldwide
letting our customers have the most amount of time possible to
convert to the newer A/B series. Contact us for stock inquiry
on these units...
PicoScope Oscilloscope and Data Acquisition Software
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 time base, 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.

inverse or create your own custom function using standard arithmetic,
exponential and trigonometric functions Mask limiting testing - pass/fail, failure count, total
count Serial Decoding -decode data from a serial bus such as
I²C Automated measurements Scope mode: AC RMS,
cycle time, DC average, duty cycle, falling rate, fall time, frequency,
high pulse width, low pulse width, maximum, minimum, peak-to-peak, rise
time and rising rate Spectrum mode: frequency at peak, amplitude at peak,
total power, total harmonic distortion (THD), total harmonic distortion
plus noise (THD+N), spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR),
signal+noise+distortion to signal+noise ratio (SINAD), signal to noise
ratio (SNR) and intermodulation distortion (IMD) Export data formats - comma separated values (CSV), tab

voltage range for a set time Dropout: signal does not cross a voltage threshold for
at least a set time Window dropout: signal does not enter or exit a voltage
range for at least a set time Interval: time between two edges is greater or less
