New from Pico Technology is the PicoScope 5000E Series oscilloscopes, a new family of compact, USB-C oscilloscopes for engineers. Addressing the need to measure sensitive, low-amplitude signals and move quickly between analog, digital and mixed-signal debugging.
The PicoScope 5000E Series delivers true 16-bit resolution with bandwidths up to 200 MHz, sample rates of 2.5 GS/s and 1 GS capture memory. The PicoScope 5000E Plus Series models add a switchable 8-bit high-speed mode with bandwidths up to 500 MHz, sampling rate of 5 GS/s and 2 GS of deep memory, giving engineers the advantage of a high-resolution precision oscilloscope and a faster 500 MHz debug oscilloscope in one portable instrument.
The PicoScope 5000E Series 16-bit resolution offers a noise floor below 22 µV root mean square (RMS) and better than –73 dB total harmonic distortion (THD). This high-dynamic range helps engineers maximize the usable resolution, finding small amplitude components, ripple, distortion and anomalies that lower-resolution or noisier instruments can hide.
Key features include:
True 16-bit acquisition: Bandwidths up to 200 MHz, sampling up to 2.5 GS/s and 1 GS capture memory for low-noise analog and power integrity measurements.
5000E Plus high-speed mode: Switchable 8-bit operation extends bandwidth to 500 MHz, sampling to 5 GS/s and memory to 2 GS for digital edges, higher-frequency analog signals and rapid mixed-signal debug.
Ultra-low-noise front end: Less than 22 µV RMS noise floor and better than –73 dB of THD, for measuring low-amplitude signals.
Deep capture memory: 1 GS of sample storage on standard models, doubling to 2 GS on Plus models in 8-bit mode, for capturing long-duration signals at maximum speeds.
7-in-1 instrument versatility: Functions as an Oscilloscope, FFT Spectrum Analyzer, 200 MS/s 14-bit AWG, Function Generator, Frequency Counter, Protocol Analyzer and Logic Analyzer (on MSO models).
Portable, USB-C design: A compact, SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type-C connected device that leverages your PC’s high-fidelity monitor to visualize complex data.
PicoSDK® support: Interface directly with the PicoScope 5000E Series using our latest multi-series API and write custom applications using C, C#, C++, Python, MATLAB or LabVIEW.
“With the PicoScope 5000E Series, we focused on the measurements engineers struggle to make on conventional scopes: small ripple and intermittent anomalies that are easy to miss. Pair that with a switchable 16 or 8-bit resolution, it’s a versatile piece of equipment that every electronics lab should include.” said James Mackey, Senior Product Marketing Executive at Pico Technology.
