Serial decoding
PicoScope 2000 Series Oscilloscopes
PicoScope 4824 8 Channel Oscilloscope
The PicoScope 4824 includes serial decoding capability across all 8 channels as standard. The decoded data can be
displayed in the format of your choice: In view, In window, or both at once.
•In view format shows the decoded data beneath the waveform on a common time axis, with error frames marked
in red. These frames can be zoomed to investigate noise or distortion.
•In window format shows a list of the decoded frames, including the data and all flags and identifiers. You can set
up filtering conditions to display only the frames you are interested in, search for frames with specified properties,
or define a start pattern to signal when the program should list the data.
PicoScope can also import a spreadsheet to decode the hexadecimal data into user-defined text strings.

High-speed data acquisition and digitizing
The supplied driver and software
development kit allow you to both
write your own software and
interface to popular third-party
software packages such as LabVIEW
and MATLAB.
The driver supports data streaming,
a mode that captures gap-free
continuous data over USB 3.0 direct
to the PC’s RAM or hard disk at a rate
of 10 MS/s when using PicoScope 6 software (160 MS/s across
all channels when using supplied SDK), so you are not limited by
the size of the scope’s buffer memory. Sampling rates in streaming
mode are subject to PC specifications and application loading.
Most oscilloscopes are built down to
a price. PicoScopes are built up to a
specification.
Careful front-end design and
shielding reduces noise, crosstalk and
harmonic distortion, meaning we are
proud to publish the specifications
for our scopes in detail. Decades of
oscilloscope design experience can be
seen in both improved pulse response
and bandwidth flatness, and low distortion. The scope features
12 input ranges from
±10 V to ±50 V full scale, a huge dynamic
range, and 60 dB SFDR. The result is simple: when you probe
a circuit, you can trust in the waveform you see on the screen.
