PicoScope 3000 Series
The PicoScope 3000 series is the fourth generation of PC oscilloscopes from Pico. In this price range they offer unrivalled performance and are a cost-effective replacement for traditional benchtop oscilloscopes.
General purpose oscilloscopes in the PicoScope 3200 range have 8-bit resolution and are accurate to within 3%, this combined with the large memory and high bandwidth make them ideal for use in all areas of test and measurement – from manufacturing and repair, to research and development.
The PicoScope 3000 series also includes the PicoScope 3224 and 3424. These high-precision oscilloscopes are accurate to 1% and have 12 bit resolution. This makes them ideal for audio, noise and vibration measurements. When used as a spectrum analyzer, the high dynamic range of these PC oscilloscopes make them ideal tools for tracking down noise in sensitive analogue circuits. The PicoScope 3425 has differential inputs that allow you to measure signals that are not referenced to ground.

| PicoScope 3424 | 4 | 10 MHz | 20 MS/s | 8 bits (12 bits) | USB2.0 |
| PicoScope 3425 | 4 (differential) | 5 MHz | 20 MS/s | 8 bits (12 bits) | USB2.0 |
Oscilloscopes in the PicoScope 3200 range all feature a high-speed USB 2.0 interface, together with impressive sampling rates, high bandwidths and a large buffer memory.
PicoScope computer oscilloscopes simply connect to the USB port on any standard Windows based computer, making full use of your PC’s processing capabilities, large screens and familiar graphical user interfaces. If you’re a PC Oscilloscope owner looking for a scope that offers outstanding performance and ease of use, the PicoScope 3200 range is your perfect choice.
PicoScope oscilloscopes are supplied with PicoScope software (oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer). Also supplied is PicoLog data acquisition software which transforms your PC into a high-speed data logger.
Ideal for use both in the lab or in the field, the PicoScope 3200 oscilloscope range is the perfect choice if you demand high-performance and portability in an easy-to-use, low-cost package.
