Measurement devices from Pico Technology

Pico Technology has been an industry leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance PC oscilloscopes and data loggers for over 30 years. During this time, Pico has built up an impressive portfolio of high-integrity instrumentation, including PicoScope PC oscilloscopes with bandwidths up to 30 GHz, resolutions up to 16 bits, flexible resolution and mixed-signal models.

PicoScope® real-time oscilloscopes are designed for a wide range of applications. From entry-level PicoScope 2000 Series instruments to benchmark PicoScope 6000 Series instruments with real-time bandwidths up to 1 GHz. This allows users to find the right mix of speed, resolution, memory depth and other performance features to effectively and efficiently address their test and measurement challenges.

The PicoVNA is a USB-driven, professional and lab-grade vector network analyzer with the measurement range of 300 kHz to 6 or 8.5 GHz (model dependent) with excellent performance, speed and portability. Compact and cost-effective, it features a four-receiver "Quad RX" architecture that eliminates the uncorrectable switching errors, delays and unreliability of traditional three-receiver designs. Automatic calibration kits and both 8- and 12-term calibrations are supported.

Pico data logging products provide a straightforward answer to a wide range of applications. PicoLog data loggers are highly accurate, flexible and do not require a separate power supply as they are powered via USB.

In addition to direct data acquisition on a PC (Windows, macOS or Linux), all current Pico data loggers and real-time oscilloscopes can now acquire data directly to a new free cloud service, PicoLog Cloud. Recordings can be viewed and shared anywhere in the world on a PC, tablet or smartphone.
