Pico

With a PC Oscilloscope from Pico you can have a complete test equipment lab in one, easy-to-use, compact unit.

PC-based oscilloscopes open up many new applications in education: from looking at the waveforms of musical instruments through to measuring the speed of light. PC-based oscilloscopes offer many advantages over traditional benchtop instruments — ease of use, low cost, small size and portability to name but a few.

Pico oscilloscopes are supplied with PicoScope software which turns a PC into an oscilloscope, spectrum analyser and a meter. These oscilloscopes can also be used with PicoLog data logging software for high speed data logging experiments.

PicoScope PC Oscilloscopes use the PCs you already own so give large colour displays (so the whole class can see) and the ability to save and print waveforms. Data can easily be exported to other Windows applications for further analysis or for writing reports. All the required software is included with the products, there are no licensing requirements — you can use the software on as many PCs as you like, and free software updates are available from our website.

Pico has a wide range of oscilloscope products, listed below are the ones we consider to be most suited to educational use:

 For PCs with USB ports:

• PicoScope 2000 entry-level oscilloscopes — single and dual-channel, low-cost, USB oscilloscopes
• PicoScope 3000 oscilloscopes — high-speed/performance, 2 and 4-channel, USB oscilloscopes

For PCs without USB ports:

• ADC-212 parallel port PC Oscilloscopes
