In the rapidly evolving world of electronics, the need for efficient and flexible testing and measurement tools has never been greater. As technology advances and designs become increasingly complex, traditional benchtop oscilloscopes are facing competition from PC-based instruments, including PicoScope with the latest PicoScope 7 user interface. Leveraging the power and versatility of personal computers, PC-based instruments offer several benefits that are revolutionising the way engineers debug and validate their electronic systems. PicoScope: revolutionising electronic system debugging and validation
I nductive charging, using 30kHz to 30MHz time varying magnetic fields is the most common method of wireless power transfer (WPT). These frequencies are impervious to air, water, ice, concrete,
wood, plastics, and other common non-metallic materials and too low to damage DNA or cells.
PC-based instruments harness the processing power and graphical
capabilities of personal computers, providing engineers with versatile platforms for complex debug
hardware, saving both physical space and cost.
By utilising existing PCs, engineers can significantly reduce
and measurement tasks. PicoScope hardware, from the entry-level 2204A through to the high-performance 6000E Series products, connect to the users’ PC via a USB interface. PicoScope 7 software provides powerful oscilloscope functionality plus a Spectrum Analyser, Protocol Analyser, Function Generator, Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) and, on MSO models, a Logic Analyser, and more. PicoScope models typically offer increased memory depth, higher resolution, and wider bandwidths, compared to traditional benchtop oscilloscopes at a given price point. A major advantage of PC-based instruments is their cost and space efficiency. Unlike benchtop instruments, PC-based solutions eliminate the need for bulky and expensive
their equipment expenses and optimise their workspace – ideal for the laboratory or working at home. Furthermore, as PCs become increasingly powerful and affordable, the performance-to-cost ratio of PC-based instruments continues to improve. Furthermore, due to their compact size, products such as the PicoScope 2000, 3000, and 5000 Series fit in a laptop bag and are readily portable to wherever they are needed. PicoScope 7 provides unmatched flexibility and scalability. The software can easily adapt to address a broad range of testing challenges by selecting the appropriate software application for a specific task. This flexibility allows for seamless transitions between different measurement types,
