PC-based scopes sample at 1 Gsample/s

-- Test & Measurement World, 10/1/2007 2:00:00 AM

Pico Technology claims that its PicoScope 5000 series of USB PC oscilloscopes delivers the bandwidth, sampling, and memory depth of expensive conventional benchtop oscilloscopes at prices starting at just over $2400. Both the PicoScope 5203 and PicoScope 5204 provide two channels plus an external trigger, a probe-tip bandwidth of 250 MHz, 8-bit resolution, and a real-time sampling rate of 1 Gsample/s (single channel). For repetitive signals, an equivalent time-sampling mode increases sampling to 20 Gsamples/s. The 5203 has a record length of 32 Msamples; the 5204 has a record length of 128 Msamples. The oscilloscopes come with PicoScope 6 oscilloscope software, which lets you use the card as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, or meter.
