Datasheet
PicoScope 2000 Series
PicoScope 6 software
The PicoScope software display can be as simple or as detailed as you 
need. Begin with a single view of one channel, and then expand the 
display to include up to four live channels, plus math channels and 
reference waveforms.
Tools > Serial decoding: Decode multiple serial data signals and display 
the data alongside the physical signal or as a detailed table.
Tools > Reference waveforms: Store waveforms in memory or on 
disk and display them alongside live inputs. Ideal for diagnostics and 
production testing.
Tools > Masks: Automatically generate a test mask from a waveform or 
draw one by hand. PicoScope highlights any parts of the waveform that 
fall outside the mask and shows error statistics.
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 command.
Spectrum view: View FFT 
data alongside scope view 
or in dedicated spectrum 
mode.
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 toolbar Quick 
access to main controls, 
with advanced triggers 
in a pop-up window.
Ruler legend: Absolute and 
differential ruler measurements 
are listed here. 
Channel options: Set axis offset 
and scaling, DC offset, zero offset, 
resolution enhancement, custom 
probes, and filtering here.
Function generator: Generates standard signals or arbitrary 
waveforms. Includes frequency sweep mode.
Auto setup button:
Configures the timebase 
and voltage ranges for 
stable display of signals.
Oscilloscope controls: Controls such as voltage range, channel 
enable, timebase and memory depth are placed on the toolbar for 
quick access, leaving the main display area clear for waveforms. 
Rulers: Each axis has two rulers that can be dragged 
across the screen to make quick measurements of 
amplitude, time and frequency.
Trigger marker: Drag the 
marker to adjust trigger level and 
pre-trigger time.
Views: PicoScope is carefully designed to make 
the best use of the display area. The waveform 
view is much bigger and higher resolution than a 
typical benchtop scope. You can add new scope and 
spectrum views with automatic or custom layouts. 
Waveform replay tools: PicoScope automatically records 
up to 10 000 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 makes it easy to 
zoom into large waveforms. Either use the zoom-
in, zoom-out and pan tools, or click and drag in 
the Zoom Overview window for fast navigation.
Touch-screen support:
Handy buttons let you 
make fine adjustments with 
a mouse or a touch screen.
