- Signal generator / AWG
With the PicoScope 4000A Series providing a choice of either 2, 4, or 8 high-resolution analog channels you can easily view audio, ultrasonic, vibration, and power waveforms, analyze the timing of complex systems, and perform a wide range of precision measurement tasks on multiple inputs at the same time. The scopes have a small, compact footprint, yet the BNC connectors with a minimum 20 mm spacing still accept all common probes and accessories.
Despite their compact size, there is no compromise on performance. With a high vertical resolution of 12 bits, 20 MHz bandwidth, 256 MS buffer memory, and a fast sampling rate of 80 MS/s, the PicoScope 4000A Series has the power and functionality to deliver accurate results. With up to 8 channels, these oscilloscopes can analyze multiple serial buses such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, and LIN plus control and driver signals.
Why choose the PicoScope 4000A Series oscilloscopes?
The PicoScope 4000A Series provides 20 MHz bandwidth, low noise, 12-bit resolution, deep capture memory, and an integrated function and arbitrary waveform generator in a compact USB 3 connected PC-based package, together with a proven user interface. This series of oscilloscopes is especially suited to engineers, scientists, and technicians working on a wide range of electrical, mechanical, audio, lidar, radar, ultrasonic, NDT, and predictive maintenance systems who need to make precise measurements and analysis of repetitive or single-shot long-duration waveforms. The PicoScope 4000A Series is unlike conventional oscilloscopes with 8-bit resolution and limited capture memory or card-based digitizers that require an expensive mainframe and offers the following benefits:
- PicoScope 6 user interface with time- and frequency-domain waveform views
- Automatic measurements of important waveform parameters on up to a million waveform cycles with each triggered acquisition using DeepMeasure
- Decoding of 18 popular industry serial bus standards.
- An application programming interface that provides direct control of the hardware
- Five years warranty included as standard
Power measurements
The PicoScope 4000A Series is ideal for making a range of power measurements on high voltages and currents and low-voltage control signals. For the best results, use a Pico differential voltage probe (TA041 or TA057) in combination with a current clamp (TA167) or probes (TA167, TA325, or TA326). To improve the efficiency and reliability of power designs, the scope can display and analyze standby power dissipation, inrush current, and steady-state power consumption. PicoScope’s built-in measurements and statistics of parameters such as true RMS, frequency, peak-to-peak voltage, and THD allow accurate analysis of power quality.
Nonlinear loads and modern power-conversion equipment produce complex waveforms with significant harmonic content. These harmonics reduce efficiency by causing increased heating in equipment and conductors, misfiring in variable speed drives, and torque pulsations in motors. The 12-bit PicoScope 4000A Series has the precision to measure distortion typically up to the 100th harmonic. On the supply side, power quality issues such as sags and dips, swells and spikes, flicker, interruptions, and long-term voltage and frequency variations can also be checked for regulatory compliance.
In a 3-phase distribution system, it is important to characterize and balance loads across phases. With up to 8 channels, the PicoScope 4000A Series can monitor waveforms of current and voltage on all 4 conductors of a 3-phase-plus-neutral system. This helps to identify mismatches that can cause breaker tripping, or transformer and conductor overheating.
High signal integrity
Careful front-end design and shielding reduce noise, crosstalk, and harmonic distortion, meaning we are proud to publish the specifications for our scopes in detail. Decades of oscilloscope design experience can be seen in improved pulse response and bandwidth flatness, and low distortion. The scope features 12 input ranges from ±10 mV to ±50 V full scale and a huge spurious-free dynamic range of up to 70 dB. The result is simple: when you probe a circuit, you can trust in the waveform you see on the screen.
USB connectivity
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connection not only allows high-speed data acquisition and transfer, but also makes printing, copying, saving, and emailing your data from the field quick and easy. USB powering removes the need to carry around a bulky external power supply, making the kit even more portable for the engineer on the move.
The Software Development Kit (SDK) allows unlimited data collection and fast streaming.
PicoLog 6 software
The PicoScope 4000A Series oscilloscopes are also supported by the PicoLog 6 data logging software, allowing you to view and record signals on multiple units in one capture.
PicoLog 6 allows sample rates of up to 1 kS/s per channel, and is ideal for long-term observation of general parameters, such as voltage or current levels, on several channels at the same time, whereas the PicoScope 6 software is more suitable for waveshape or harmonic analysis.
You can also use PicoLog 6 to view data from your oscilloscope alongside a data logger or other device. For example, you could measure voltage and current with your PicoScope and plot both against temperature using a TC-08 thermocouple data logger, or humidity with a DrDAQ multipurpose data logger.
