Pico Unveils Precision Oscilloscopes

Pico Technology introduced two digital storage oscilloscopes. The Pico ADC-212 and ADC-216 virtual instruments offer resolutions of 12 and 16 bits (250 and 15 parts per million). These dual channel instruments are suited for precision applications like audio testing and analysis, vibration and noise measurements, and power supply design.

Units are supplied with software for DOS, Windows 3.1, 95/98 and NT. The PicoScope software enables your computer to operate simultaneously as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyser and multimeter. The ADC-212 provides a 1250 ksps oscilloscope and a 625 kHz spectrum analyser, while the higher resolution ADC-216 provides a 333 ksps oscilloscope and a 166 kHz spectrum analyser. Also supplied is PicoLog, which enables the units to function as high resolution data loggers. Software drivers are supplied with examples for Visual Basic, Excel, Delphi and C for those who wish to write their own software.

The new units connect to the parallel port of any PC. They offer the capability to print and save waveforms or reports.
