Advantages and Applications

Multi-signal analysis: Four channels allow simultaneous observation and comparison of several signals — ideal for multi-channel projects.
Balanced performance: A 50 MHz bandwidth, deep memory, and high sampling rate make the device versatile for a wide range of measurement tasks.
Feature-rich software: PicoScope software provides advanced tools (FFT, serial decoding, mask testing, and multiple trigger modes) without the need for paid add-ons.
Compact and portable: USB power and a slim design make it easy to transport and use in the field.
Comprehensive protocol decoding: Supports decoding of popular communication standards, speeding up diagnostics and testing in digital and embedded systems.
Segmented memory and fast waveform update rate: Enable efficient capture and analysis of rare events or rapidly changing signals.
