Pico announce the PicoScope 5000E Series
Pico Technology have announced a new 4 channel USB oscilloscope with 16bit resolution - the first in the world
The PicoScope 5000E Series delivers true 16-bit resolution with bandwidths up to 200 MHz, sample rates of 2.5 GS/s and 1 GS capture memory. The PicoScope 5000E Plus Series models add a switchable 8-bit high-speed mode with bandwidths up to 500 MHz, sampling rate of 5 GS/s and 2 GS of deep memory, giving engineers the advantage of a high-resolution precision oscilloscope and a faster 500 MHz debug oscilloscope in one portable instrument.- True 16-bit acquisition: Bandwidths up to 200 MHz, sampling up to 2.5 GS/s and 1 GS capture memory for low-noise analog and power integrity measurements.
- 5000E Plus high-speed mode: Switchable 8-bit operation extends bandwidth to 500 MHz, sampling to 5 GS/s and memory to 2 GS for digital edges, higher-frequency analog signals and rapid mixed-signal debug.
- Ultra-low-noise front end: Less than 22 µV RMS noise floor and better than –73 dB of THD for measuring low-amplitude signals.
- Deep capture memory: 1 GS of sample storage on standard models, doubling to 2 GS on Plus models in 8-bit mode, for capturing long-duration signals at maximum speeds.
- 7-in-1 instrument versatility: Functions as an Oscilloscope, FFT Spectrum Analyzer, 200 MS/s 14-bit AWG, Function Generator, Frequency Counter, Protocol Analyzer and Logic Analyzer (on MSO models).
- Portable, USB-C design: A compact, SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type-C connected device that leverages your PC’s high-fidelity monitor to visualize complex data.
- PicoSDK® support: Interface directly with the PicoScope 5000E Series using Pico's latest multi-series API and write custom applications using C, C#, C++, Python, MATLAB or LabVIEW.
