Mixed-signal capability
The PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs from Pico
Technology are 2+16 channel, 8-bit resolution
oscilloscopes. Along with 2 analog channels,
the PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs also have 16
digital inputs, so you can view your digital and
analog signals simultaneously.
Full-featured oscilloscope
The PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs with 2+16 input channels include all
the features of standard 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.

Product Selector
Digital channels
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 and 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 or disabled.
Serial decoding
The PicoScope 3000 Series MSOs bring extra power to the serial decoding
feature in PicoScope. You use decode serial data on all analog and digital
inputs at the same time, giving you up to 18 channels of data with any
combination of serial protocols!
