Brochure
The display can be as simple or as advanced as you need. Begin with a single view of one channel, and then expand the
display to include any number of live channels, math channels and reference waveforms. Available in 23 languages.
Oscilloscope controls:
Controls such as voltage
range, scope resolution,
channel enable, timebase
and memory depth.
Movable axes: The vertical axes can be
dragged up and down. This feature is
particularly useful when one waveform
is obscuring another. There’s also an
Auto Arrange Axes feature.
Zoom overview:
Click and
drag for quick
navigation in
zoomed views.
Trigger toolbar:
Quick access to
main controls, with
advanced triggers in
a pop-up window.
Automatic measurements:
Display
calculated measurements for
troubleshooting and analysis. You
can add as many measurements
as you need on each view. Each
measurement includes statistical
parameters showing its variability.
Trigger marker:
Drag the yellow
diamond to adjust
trigger level and
pre-trigger time.
Views: PicoScope
6 is carefully
designed to make
the best use of
the display area.
You can add new
scope, spectrum
and XY views
with automatic or
custom layouts.
Waveform replay tools: PicoScope 6
automatically records up to 10000 of the
most recent waveforms. You can quickly scan
through to look for intermittent events, or use
the Buffer Navigator to search visually.
Zoom and pan tools: PicoScope 6
allows a zoom factor of several million,
which is necessary when working with
the deep memory of the PicoScope
5000D Series scopes.
Rulers: Each axis has two
rulers that can be dragged
across the screen to make
quick measurements
of amplitude, time and
frequency.
Channel options:
Filtering, offset, resolution
enhancement, custom
probes and more.
Auto setup button:
Configures the collection
time and voltage range for
clear display of signals.
Tools: Including serial decoding,
reference channels, macro
recorder, alarms, mask limit
testing and math channels.
Signal generator: Generates
standard signals or arbitrary
waveforms. Includes
frequency
sweep mode.
Ruler legend:
Absolute and
delta ruler
measurements
are listed here.
FlexRes: FlexRes allows you to
reconfigure the hardware to increase
either the sampling rate or the
resolution. Easily switch from 8 up to
16 bits resolution.
Logic analyzer/ mixed
signal capability:
MSO mixed signal models
include 16 digital inputs
so that you can view
digital and analog signals
simultaneously. The digital
inputs can be displayed
individually or in named
groups with binary, decimal
or hexadecimal values
shown in a bus-style display.
PicoScope 6 software
Serial protocol analysis
PicoScope can decode 1-Wire, ARINC 429, CAN, CAN FD, DCC,
DMX512, Ethernet, FlexRay, I²C, I²S, LIN, PS/2, SENT, SPI, UART
(RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485), and USB 1.1 protocol data as
standard, with more protocols in development and available in
the future with free-of-charge software upgrades.
Mask limit testing
Mask limit testing allows you to compare live signals against
known good signals, and is designed for production and
debugging environments. Simply capture a known good signal,
draw a mask around it, and then probe the system under test.
PicoScope will check for mask violations and perform pass/
fail testing, capture intermittent glitches, and can show a failure
count and other statistics in the Measurements window.
Software development kit (SDK)
The SDK allows you to write your own software and includes
drivers for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux, including
Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone. Example code shows how to
interface to third-party software packages such as Microsoft
Excel, National Instruments LabVIEW, MathWorks MATLAB and
Python.
Advanced digital triggering
Advanced trigger types enable you to capture a stable waveform
with complex signals. This is ideal for troubleshooting glitches,
timing violations, overvoltages and dropouts in analog and
digital circuits. Advanced triggers include pulse width, runt,
drop-out, logic, and digital modes.
DeepMeasure
Measurement of waveform pulses and cycles is key to
verication of the performance of electrical and electronic
devices. DeepMeasure delivers automatic measurements of
important waveform parameters on up to a million waveform
cycles with each triggered acquisition. Results can be easily
sorted, analyzed and correlated with the waveform display.
Spectrum analyzer
The FFT spectrum view plots amplitude against frequency. It is
ideal for nding noise, crosstalk or distortion in signals.
You can display multiple spectrum views alongside oscilloscope
views of the same data. A comprehensive set of automatic
frequency-domain measurements can be added to the display,
including THD, THD+N, SNR, SINAD and IMD. FFTs of up to 1
million points can be computed in milliseconds giving superb
frequency resolution.
