New 2-Channel Oscilloscope!

Following on from the successful launch of the 4000 Series scope, we have now introduced a 2-channel version for the more budget-conscious user.

The new PicoScope diagnostic oscilloscope has twice the input voltage range, twice the bandwidth, 4 times the sampling rate and 64 times the memory of its predecessor!

The new PicoScope is equipped for the future, with a higher speed that gives you a clearer display of fast signals like CANbus and FlexRay. The new “always on memory”, now 64 times larger, never needs to be adjusted, so now you can concentrate on the job, not on the scope. You’ll never miss a detail, even with hard-to-find intermittent faults. The increased ±100 V input range removes the need for external attenuators for most tests.

New Case Study: Zafira Intermittent Stalling

This month we have an interesting case study for you, written by a real PicoScope user who has kindly offered to share his diagnostic knowledge.

Zafira Intermittent Stalling. The customer complaint was intermittent cutting out. This was eventually narrowed down to only stalling at junctions: how important is correct information?
