PicoScope 3000 Series

Deep memory

PicoScope 3000 Series oscilloscopes offer a huge buffer memory, allowing them to sustain high sampling rates across long timebases. For

example, using the 512 MS buffer, the PicoScope 3206D and 3406D models can sample at 1 GS/s all the way down to 50 ms/div giving a

500 ms total capture time.

Powerful tools are included to allow you to manage and examine all

of this data. As well as functions such as mask limit testing and color

persistence mode, the PicoScope 6 software enables you to zoom into

your waveform by several million times. The Zoom Overview window

allows you to easily control the size and location of the zoom area.

Up to 10 000 waveforms can be stored in the segmented waveform

buffer. The Buffer Overview window then allows you to rewind and

review the history of your waveform. No longer will you struggle to

catch an infrequent glitch.

When the trace length is set to be shorter than the scope’s memory,

the PicoScope will automatically configure the memory as a circular

buffer, recording recent waveforms for review. For example, if 1

million samples are captured, up to 500 waveforms will be stored in

oscilloscope memory. Tools such as mask limit testing can then be

used to scan through each waveform to identify anomalies.
