PicoScope 5000 Series

Looking for something to replace that bulky benchtop oscilloscope?
A high-performance PC Oscilloscope from the PicoScope 5000 Series is your ideal choice.

As well as a 2-channel USB Oscilloscope, the PicoScope 5000 Series can also be used for high-speed data acquisition and includes an arbitrary waveform generator that can generate a waveform of almost any shape.

Other oscilloscopes at this price range force you to compromise on either bandwidth, sampling rate or buffer memory. With class-leading bandwidth, sampling rate and memory depth, and an array of advanced high end features, PicoScope 5000 PC Oscilloscopes give you the features and performance you need without compromise.

When performance is paramount, a PicoScope 5000 high-performance oscilloscope meets your needs.

PicoScope 5000 PC Oscilloscopes now include a 5 year warranty as standard.

With class-leading bandwidth, sampling rate, memory depth and a built-in arbitrary waveform generator too, a PicoScope 5000 Series PC Oscilloscope makes it easy for you to make the right choice.

• 250 MHz bandwidth
• 1 GS/s real-time sample rate
• 128 Megasample buffer memory
• Arbitrary waveform generator
• The no compromise oscilloscope
• All other oscilloscopes at this price range force you to compromise on one of three key specifications: bandwidth, sampling rate or buffer memory. With the PicoScope 5000 series you no longer have to compromise.

High bandwidth and sampling rate
At the heart of the PicoScope 5000 is its ability to digitise signals accurately and with minimal distortion. The 250 MHz analog bandwidth is complemented by a real-time sample rate of 1 GS/s. For repetitive signals, an equivalent time sampling (ETS) mode increases the sampling to 20 GS/s.

Huge buffer memory
These days most digital oscilloscopes have high sampling rates, but many of them let you down with a tiny memory buffer which means that you can only use the maximum sampling rate on a few timebases. The massive 128 megasample (128,000,000) buffer memory of the 5204 ensures complex waveforms can be captured at the full sampling rate.

What do I get?

1. PicoScope 5000 Series PCO
2. 2 x 250 MHz switchable probes
3. USB cable
4. Universal AC adaptor
5. Tough carry case
6. PicoScope oscilloscope software
7. Free software updates

10. PicoScope 5000 oscilloscopes are supplied with PicoScope 6 oscilloscope software which allows you to use your PicoScope PCO as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyser and meter. PicoScope 6 is responsive and easy to use. Feature-packed, PicoScope includes draggable axis, advanced zoom tools and a waveform replay tool which automatically records up to the last 1000 waveforms.

Great things come in small packages
PicoScope 5000 PC Oscilloscopes have been designed to take up very little of your valuable desk space. The innovative anti-slip case design means that the PicoScope 5000 PCOs can be used either horizontally or vertically — ideal when desk space is at a premium.

Unlike traditional benchtop oscilloscopes, PicoScope 5000 PC Oscilloscopes are lightweight and small enough to be carried in the same bag as your laptop, but for added protection you can use the supplied tough carry case. Despite the compact design, the case can safely store and protect your oscilloscope, leads, probes and power supply.

A PicoScope 5000 PC Oscilloscope comes with everything you need to start taking measurements with the minimum of fuss and effort. The PicoScope 5000 PCO is supplied in a tough carry case that includes a USB cable, two 250 MHz x1/x10 oscilloscope probes, PicoScope oscilloscope software and a universal power adaptor that allows you to use your oscilloscope almost anywhere in the world.

All you need in an oscilloscope
With class-leading bandwidth, sampling rate and memory depth, and an array of advanced high end features, PicoScope 5000 PC Oscilloscopes give you the features and performance you need. PicoScope 5000 oscilloscope are an ideal direct replacement to benchtop oscilloscopes. They are easy-to-use and cost-effective. The award-winning PicoScope 5204 is the vanguard of PC Oscilloscope design, whilst for those on a budget, the PicoScope 5203 has all the performance of the 5204 but with a smaller, though still impressive, 32 megasamples of memory.
