Mixed-signal capability
The PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs from Pico Technology are
2+16 channel, 8-bit resolution oscilloscopes. This means that along with
2 analog channels, the PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs also have 16 digital
inputs. The result? With the PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs you can view
your digital and analog signals simultaneously.
Full-featured oscilloscope
The PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs, while
featuring the 2+16 channel format, still remain
full-featured oscilloscopes. An arbitrary
waveform generator is built-in and includes
a sweep function. The oscilloscopes also
offer mask limit testing, math and reference
channels, advanced triggers, serial decoding, automatic measurements
and color persistence display.
Triggering
The PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs offer a comprehensive set of advanced
triggers including pulse width, windowed and dropout triggers to help
you capture the data you need. Digital triggering reduces timing errors
and allows these oscilloscopes to trigger on the smallest signals, even
at the full bandwidth. Trigger levels and hysteresis can be set with high
resolution.
Digital triggering reduces re-arm delay and, combined with the segmented
memory, allows the triggering and capture of events that happen in rapid
sequence. For analog inputs the mask limit testing function can then
scan through the buffer to highlight failed waveforms for viewing in the
buffer navigator.
The 16 digital inputs can be displayed individually or in arbitrary groups
labelled with binary, decimal or hexadecimal values. A separate logic
threshold from -5 V to +5 V can be defined for each 8-bit input port.
The digital trigger can be activated by any bit pattern combined with an
optional transition on any input.
Advanced logic triggers can be set on either the analog or digital input
channels, or both.
Selecting digital channels, or groups
Selecting the digital channels in the software couldn’t be easier. Just click
the digital channels button (
), and then drag-and-drop to add the
channels you want to see. These channels can be arranged into any order,
grouped, renamed, and even temporarily disabled if required.
