The PicoScope 5204 is a USB PC oscilloscope that delivers the bandwidth, sampling, and memory depth of expensive conventional bench oscilloscopes. The instrument provides 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 5204 has a record length of 128 Msamples.
The instrument comes with PicoScope 6 oscilloscope software, which lets you use it as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, and meter. It also comes with a carrying case that includes a USB cable, two 250-MHz x1/x10 oscilloscope probes, and a universal power adapter that lets it be used almost anywhere in the world.
