The PicoScope 3000E Series is a range of USB-powered PC oscilloscopes which are small, light, portable, and provide high-performance specifications ideal for engineers working on advanced electronics and diverse embedded system technologies, either in the laboratory or on the move.

Supported by the advanced PicoScope 7 Test and Measurement software, the PicoScope 3000E Series enables the rapid cost-effective debug and performance validation of complex analog and power electronic designs. It also offers an ideal package for many other applications including embedded systems design, research, test, education, service, and repair.

Note: The 3000E series also offers a 500 MHz scope. See the Items in This Series section of this webpage for more information.

The front panel of the oscilloscope brings together the indicators for the four channels, the BNC connectors for those channels, and the LEDs that show power and status. It also includes BNCs for AUX I/O which can be used as an external trigger input or output and an AWG (arbitrary waveform generator / signal generator) output.

The rear panel provides connections to a PC and an external power source if needed; both USB ports have locking screws. A Kensington security slot is also provided.

Comprehensive protocol support: Decode multiple different protocols currently using all the channels of your oscilloscope, providing extensive versatility for complex applications.

High-resolution data visualization: View decoded data in hex, binary, decimal, or ASCII directly beneath the waveform on a common time axis. Error frames are highlighted in red for quick identification and can be zoomed in for a detailed investigation of noise or signal integrity issues.

Detailed table format: See a comprehensive list of decoded frames, including all data, flags, and identifiers. Use filtering to focus on specific frames or search for frames with particular properties. The statistics option gives deeper insight into the physical layer, revealing frame times and voltage levels. Click any frame in the table to zoom into its corresponding waveform.

Export and offline analysis: Easily export table view data for offline viewing and analysis, ensuring you can work with your data whenever and wherever you need.

Link file feature: Accelerate your analysis by cross-referencing values to human-readable text.

This is my super awesome description for this amazing product. It includes cool features and amazing things this product is capable of! This description should be well written, short, and super helpful for the customer.

The integrated FFT spectrum analyzer provides detailed frequency domain analysis, ideal for identifying noise, crosstalk, and signal distortion. The spectrum analyzer in PicoScope is of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) type which, unlike a traditional swept spectrum analyzer, can display the spectrum of a single, non-repeating waveform. With up to a million points and comprehensive measurement tools, PicoScope’s spectrum analysis capabilities are suited to a variety of applications.

With a click of a button, you can display a spectrum plot of the active channels, with a maximum frequency up to the bandwidth of your scope. To focus on a specific frequency range you can directly set the start and stop values of the analyzer frequency axis.

You can display multiple spectrum views alongside oscilloscope views of the same data. A comprehensive set of automatic frequency-domain measurements can be added to the display, including THD, THD+N, SNR, SINAD, and IMD. You can even use the AWG and spectrum mode together to perform swept scalar network analysis.

The PicoScope 3000E Series boasts low noise, minimal crosstalk, and low harmonic distortion. High-resolution processing ensures detailed and accurate waveform representation, even at high zoom levels.

To ensure precision, high accuracy, and repeatability, all processing of sampled data is carried out at a higher resolution than the original ADC samples and a minimum of 16 bits. This means that when using functions like math channels, interpolation, filtering, or resolution enhancement, you can really see the extra detail revealed in your signal.

We are proud of the dynamic performance of our products and publish our specifications in detail. The result is simple: when you probe a circuit, you can trust in the waveform you see on the screen.
