PicoScope 2000 Series
Waveform buffer and navigator
Ever spotted a glitch on a waveform, but by the time you’ve stopped the scope it’s gone? With PicoScope you no longer need to worry
about missing glitches or other transient events. PicoScope can store the last ten thousand waveforms in its circular waveform buffer.
The buffer navigator provides an efficient way of navigating and searching through waveforms, effectively letting you turn back time. Tools
such as mask limit testing can also be used to scan through each waveform in the buffer looking for mask violations.
Mask limit testing
PicoScope allows you to draw a mask around any signal with user-defined tolerances. This has been designed specifically for production and
debugging environments, enabling you to compare signals. Simply capture a known good signal, draw a mask around it, and then attach the
system under test. PicoScope will capture any intermittent glitches and can show a failure count and other statistics in the Measurements
window.
The numerical and graphical mask editors can be used separately or in combination, allowing you to enter accurate mask specifications,
modify existing masks, and import and export masks as files.
High-speed data acquisition and digitizing
The supplied drivers and software development kit (SDK) allow you to both write your own software and interface to popular third-party
software packages such as National Instruments LabVIEW and MathWorks MATLAB.
The drivers support data streaming, a mode that captures gap-free continuous data over the USB port directly to the PC’s RAM or hard
disk at rates of up to 1 MS/s (A models) or 9.6 MS/s (B models), 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.
Beta drivers are also available for use with Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, and similar ARM-powered platforms. These drivers enable
you to control your PicoScope using these small, single-board Linux computers.
