 28.01.2013 The PicoScope 3000 Series of high-performance oscilloscopes has been expanded to include six new four-channel models. The new oscilloscopes offer a maximum sampling rate of 1 GS/s (up to 10 GS/s effective for repetitive signals), bandwidths from 60 MHz to 200 MHz, and buffer memory depths up to 128 M samples.
- 4 Channels and external trigger Bandwidths from 60 MHz to 200 MHz
- Up to 128 MS buffer size
- 1 GS/s real–time sampling
- Up to 10 GS/s repetitive sampling
- Advanced digital triggers
- Built–in spectrum analyser
- Built–in function generator
- Arbitrary waveform generator option
- USB or mains powered
