Pico Technology has announced the latest additions to its popular PicoScope 3000E Series: new entry-level Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) models with four analog channels and 100 MHz and 200 MHz bandwidths.
These new versions, designed for engineers, educators, and embedded system developers, decrease the entry barrier to accessing the PicoScope 3000E platform’s sophisticated features at an attractive price.
Building on the success of the previous high-performance 350 MHz and 500 MHz models, these new 100 MHz and 200 MHz Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope are excellent for applications requiring precision and flexibility at a lower cost.
With extensive memory, cross-platform software, and optional digital inputs, they offer a complete solution for mixed-signal testing and debugging.
Key Features of The New PicoScope 3000E MSO Models Include:
- 100 MHz and 200 MHz bandwidth options with 5 GS/s sampling rate, the highest available on any USB powered oscilloscope, and 10-bit resolution. These combine to deliver accurate signal capture with low noise, ideal for general electronics, education, and industrial applications.
- 2 GS ultra-deep memory and segmented acquisition: Capture long or repetitive events with detail and speed up to 2 million waveforms per second.
- Cross-platform PicoScope 7 software (Windows, macOS, Linux): Intuitive interface with advanced features and free lifetime updates.
- 4 analog channels + optional 16 digital inputs: Provides the flexibility to simultaneously analyze both analog and digital signals—perfect for working with microcontrollers, FPGAs and other mixed-signal systems.
- 200 MS/s, 14-bit AWG/function generator: Generate complex analog signals for testing and simulation without external equipment.
- USB 3.0 Type-C® interface: Enables fast data transfer and removes the need for an additional power source
- 40+ serial protocol decoders included as standard, including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, FlexRay and USB—ideal for embedded development.
- Advanced triggering, math and measurements: Includes powerful tools such as DeepMeasure™, automated pass/fail testing, waveform masks and more.
- PicoSDK®: Enables developers to integrate the oscilloscope into custom Windows, macOS and Linux applications.
Leadership Comments
Alan Tong, Managing Director at Pico Technology, commented:
“These new models offer all the performance and flexibility engineers expect from the PicoScope 3000E Series, but at lower bandwidths that better suit many everyday applications. Whether you’re designing, debugging or teaching they deliver professional-grade capabilities without compromise.”
