PicoScope 9000 Series - Application: Jitter Measurement
Jitter measurement is fundamental to high-speed digital data applications. This video demonstrates 3 ways of measuring jitter using the PicoScope 9000. The data used is NRZ (non-return to zero).
PicoScope 9000 Series - TDR Basics
This video demonstrates the basics of using the TDR system on the PicoScope 9211A and 9231A sampling oscilloscopes. In this example the scope is configured for TDR, calibrated and impedance measurements made on 2 different coaxial cables.
A Digital Oscilloscope for the Analog World
The new PicoScope 4262 from Pico Technology is a 2 channel, 16 bit very–high–resolution oscilloscope (VHRO) with a built–in low–distortion signal generator. With its 5 MHz bandwidth, it can easily analyze audio, ultrasonic and vibration signals, characterize noise in switched mode power supplies, measure distortion, and perform a wide range of precision measurement tasks.
London needs 70,000 small cells for world-class mobile broadband
For London to offer genuinely world-class, LTE everywhere mobile broadband, it will require the installation of 70,000 small cells across the capital, including 2,000 nodes covering the Underground network by 2015. These findings will be presented by Picochip CTO Doug Pulley at the Bath Basestation conference, starting 27th September.

This video explores the different ways of arranging and displaying waveforms in PicoScope 6.
Pico Technology - PicoLog 3-channel mains current data logger is easy to use
The PicoLog CM3 USB/Ethernet Current Data Logger is a compact, easy-to-use instrument for measuring the power consumption of buildings and machinery. With three channels, it can monitor current in single-phase and 3-phase AC installations. Applications include monitoring three-phase motors and generators, measuring the consumption of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and balancing phases in multiphase supplies. The logger...

PicoScope 6407 USB Digitizer provides high-speed data capture for almost any industrial or scientific application.
The new PicoScope 6407 USB Digitizer provides high-speed data capture for almost any industrial or scientific application. With four 1 GHz 50-ohm analog inputs and a 5 GS/s sampling rate, the instrument can handle a wide variety of signals such as high-speed serial data; waveforms from automated test rigs, prototype circuits and high-frequency PCBs; radio, laser and radar IF signals; and many types of experimental data.
Pico Technology Celebrates 20th Anniversary with Fastest Ever PicoScope
The new four-channel PicoScope 6404 PC Oscilloscope has an analog bandwidth of 500 MHz. This is matched by a real–time sampling rate of 5 GS/s, which guarantees accurate representation of signals up to the full bandwidth.
Pico Technology celebrates 20th anniversary with fastest ever PicoScope!
The new four-channel PicoScope 6404 PC Oscilloscope has an analog bandwidth of 500 MHz. This is matched by a real-time sampling rate of 5 GS/s, which guarantees accurate representation of signals up to the full bandwidth. The scope also has an ultra-deep 1 gigasample buffer memory that allows capture and analysis of complex waveforms, even when sampling at full speed.
Pico Technology releases new USB DrDAQ low-cost data logger
The new USB DrDAQ data logger offers an amazing collection of 15 channels in a compact, low-cost device that’s perfect for hobbyists, teachers and technicians. It is supplied with full versions of the PicoScope and PicoLog software so that all of its capabilities are ready to use, straight out of the box.
Pico Technology offers new Tetris 1 GHz and 1.5 GHz active probes
The two new Tetris probes from Pico Technology offer high bandwidth in a compact and lightweight housing, and are ideal for testing densely-packed high-speed circuits. With their active circuitry, these probes deliver a significant performance improvement over passive probes. While the input capacitance of a passive probe loads the signal source even at frequencies below 1 MHz, causing distortion, the Tetris probes maintain a high input impedance...
Pico Technology releases new 2010 Test & Measurement Catalogue
The Pico Technology Test & Measurement Catalogue has been completely redesigned for 2010. It now contains more technical data on established and new products. In the PicoScope section, the comapny has added the new PicoScope 2200 Ultra-Compact scopes and the PicoScope 3425 Differential scope. A PicoScope 2200 scope is also available in a new Education Kit designed for use in the classroom. The PicoScope 4000 Precision scopes, both with and witho...
Pico Technology releases new platinum resistance thermometer data logger
The PT-104 USB/Ethernet data logger can record 4 channels of temperature, voltage and resistance in any combination. It is compatible with standard, low-cost PT100 and PT1000 platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs) including 2-wire, 3-wire and 4-wire types. By using calibrated reference resistors instead of semiconductor voltage references in its measuring circuits, the PT-104 is less susceptible to temperature drift, and delivers high stability ...
Speed and Precision: the new generation of oscilloscopes from Pico Technology
