PC Based Oscilloscopes-The Future of Test & Measurement Labs
Pico Technology is the market leader in PC Oscilloscopes — the modern alternative to traditional benchtop oscilloscopes. They offer PC based Test and measurement equipment & data loggers, which can be carried in your laptop bags. These are unbeatable value for money and are ideal for education, hobby and field service use. In the lab, the low cost allows one scope per person rather than having to share.
PicoScopes are used by engineers, scientists, teachers and students to measure and analyze electronic signals to validate and ensure correct and reliable operation of their electronic designs.
PicoScopes provide an informative display and advanced waveform analysis that enhance the productivity of engineers in applications areas such as embedded and automotive systems, high-speed communications, process control, power conversion, avionics, and scientific research.
High-end features such as serial decoding and mask limit testing are included as standard — no more expensive “options” to pay for.
PicoScope software
PicoScope application software is available for MicroSoft Windows 7, 8 and 10, Linux Debian, OpenSUSE, and Fedora derived distributions, plus OS-X (Mac). The supplied Software Development Kit (SDK) contains programming examples in popular languages and environments including MatLab, LabView, C++, and C#.
Pico data acquisition products provide a straightforward solution for a broad range of data logging needs. PicoLog data loggers require no power supply and simply plug into a USB or Ethernet port on a PC or network. Every logger is supplied with data acquisition software to measure, record and analyze parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, humidity, pH, vibration and many others.
