Advanced triggers

As well as the standard range of triggers found on most oscilloscopes, the PicoScope 5000 series has a full complement of advanced triggers as standard to help you capture the data you need.

Advanced triggers include:

Pulse width

Pulses less than/greater than a specified time width can be triggered on.

Window

If a signal moves into or out of a specified window — defined by 2 thresholds — a trigger event can be generated. Optionally, the event can be qualified by pulse width, and other trigger sources.

Dropout

Triggers after a signal stops toggling for a user defined amount of time, can be qualified by other trigger sources

Delay

Once a trigger event has been identified, the unit can be configured to trigger on the nth event and can additionally be delayed by a user defined amount of time.

Logic Level

A range of triggers to identify a user defined logic state or pattern. There are up to 4 logic trigger sources: CHA, CHB, EXT and AUX I/O.

Arbitrary waveform generator

PicoScope 5000 series PCOs feature a built in signal generator output. This can generate standard waveforms from a library of stored waveforms including sine, square, triangle, ramp up, ramp down, sin(x)/x, Gaussian, half sine, white noise and DC level. You can also define your own waveforms using the power of the built in 12 bit, 125 MS/s arbitrary waveform generator (AWG).

Spectrum analyser

With the click of a button, a waveform capture window can be opened to display the spectrum plot of the selected channel. The spectrum analyser allows signals up to 250 MHz to be viewed in the frequency domain. A full range of settings give you control over the number of spectrum bands, window types and display modes.

High speed data acquisition

If the 128 M sample record length isn’t enough, the supplied drivers and Software Development Kit allows users to write their own software or interface to popular third party software packages. The drivers support data streaming functionality, where gap-free continuous data can be streamed via the USB 2.0 port directly to the PC's RAM or hard disk drive at up to 6 MS/s.
