PicoScope 3000 Series

High bandwidth, high sampling rate, deep memory

Despite their compact size and low cost, there is no compromise on performance, with input bandwidths up to 200 MHz. This bandwidth is matched by a real-time sampling rate of

up to 1 GS/s, enabling detailed display of high frequencies. For repetitive signals, the maximum effective sampling rate can be boosted to 10 GS/s using equivalent time sampling

(ETS) mode. With a sampling rate of at least five times the input bandwidth, PicoScope 3000 Series oscilloscopes are well equipped to capture high-frequency signal detail.

Many other oscilloscopes have high maximum sampling rates, but without deep memory they cannot sustain these rates on long timebases. The PicoScope 3000 Series offers up

to 512 million samples capture memory, enabling the PicoScope 3406D MSO to sample at 1 GS/s all the way down to 50 ms/div (500 ms total capture time).

Managing all this data calls for some powerful tools. There’s a set of zoom buttons, plus an overview window that lets you zoom and reposition the display by simply dragging with

the mouse or touchscreen. Zoom factors of several million are possible. Other tools such as the waveform buffer navigator, mask limit testing, serial decoding, DeepMeasure and

hardware acceleration work with the deep memory, making the PicoScope 3000 series some of the most capable oscilloscopes on the market.
