PicoScope 5000D Series ® FlexRes oscilloscopes and MSOs ® The complete all-rounders FlexRes flexible 8 to 16-bit hardware resolution Up to 200 MHz analog bandwidth 1 GS/s sampling at 8-bit resolution 500 MS/s sampling at 12-bit resolution 62.
Introduction Today’s electronic designs employ a wide range of signal types: analog, digital, serial (both high- and low-speed), parallel, audio, video, power distribution and so on. All need to be debugged, measured and validated to ensure that the device under test is functioning correctly and within specification. To handle this variety of signal types, PicoScope 5000D Series FlexRes oscilloscopes provide 8 to 16 bits of vertical resolution, with up to 200 MHz bandwidth and 1 GS/s sampling speed.
Advanced display PicoScope 6 software dedicates the majority of the display area to the waveform, ensuring that the maximum amount of data is visible at all times. The size of the display is only limited by the size of your computer’s monitor, so even with a laptop, the viewing area is much bigger, with much higher resolution, than that of a benchtop scope.
High bandwidth, high sampling rate Many USB-powered oscilloscopes have real-time sampling rates of only 100 or 200 MS/s, but the PicoScope 5000D Series offers up to 1 GS/s, and a maximum bandwidth of 200 MHz. Deep capture memory PicoScope 5000D Series oscilloscopes have waveform capture memories ranging from 128 megasamples to 512 megasamples – many times larger than competing scopes. Deep memory enables the capture of long-duration waveforms at maximum sampling speed.
Mixed-signal models The PicoScope 5000D MSO models add 16 digital channels to the 2 or 4 analog channels, enabling you to accurately time-correlate analog and digital channels. Digital channels may be grouped and displayed as a bus, with each bus value displayed in hex, binary or decimal or as a level (for DAC testing). You can set advanced triggers across both the analog and digital channels.
Serial decoding and analysis With its deep memory, the PicoScope 5000D Series is ideally suited to serial decoding and analysis, which are included as standard. The PicoScope 6 software has support for 18 protocols including I2C, SPI, CAN, RS-232 and Ethernet. Decoding helps you see what is happening in your design to identify programming and timing errors and check for other signal integrity issues.
Spectrum analyzer The spectrum view plots amplitude against frequency and is ideal for finding noise, crosstalk or distortion in signals. PicoScope 6 uses a fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectrum analyzer, which (unlike a traditional swept spectrum analyzer) can display the spectrum of a single, nonrepeating waveform. With a click of a button, you can display a spectrum plot of the active channels, with a maximum frequency of up to 200 MHz.
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, generate a mask around it and then use the alarms to automatically save any waveform (complete with a time stamp) that violates the mask. PicoScope 6 will capture any intermittent glitches and show a failure count in the Measurements window (which you can still use for other measurements).
FlexRes – how we do it Most digital oscilloscopes gain their high sampling rates by interleaving multiple 8-bit ADCs. Despite careful design, the interleaving process introduces errors that always make the dynamic performance worse than the performance of the individual ADC cores.
PicoSDK® - write your own apps Our software development kit, PicoSDK, allows you to write your own software and includes drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux. Example code supplied on our GitHub organization page shows how to interface to third-party software packages such as National Instruments LabVIEW and MathWorks MATLAB.

PicoScope 6 software 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. Tools: Including serial decoding, reference channels, macro recorder, alarms, mask limit testing and math channels. Waveform replay tools: PicoScope 6 automatically records up to 10,000 of the most recent waveforms.
