PicoScope® 6000E Series

Ultra-deep memory

PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes have waveform capture memories of up to 4 gigasamples – many times larger than competing scopes. Deep memory enables the capture

of long-duration waveforms at maximum sampling speed. In fact, the PicoScope 6000E Series can capture waveforms 200 ms long with 200 ps resolution, or even 100 ps on the

10 GS/s 6428E-D. In contrast, the same 200 ms waveform captured by an oscilloscope with a 10 megasample memory would have just 20 ns resolution. The scope automatically

shares the capture memory between the analog channels and MSO ports you have made active.

Deep memory is invaluable when you need to capture fast serial data with long gaps between packets, or nanosecond laser pulses spaced milliseconds apart, for example. It can

be useful in other ways too: PicoScope lets you divide the capture memory into a number of segments, up to 40 000. You can set up a trigger condition to store a separate capture

in each segment, with as little as 300 ns dead time between captures. Once you have acquired the data, you can step through the memory one segment at a time until you find the

event you are looking for.

Powerful tools are included to allow you to manage and examine all of this data. As well as functions such as mask limit testing and color persistence mode, PicoScope software

enables you to zoom into your waveform up to 100 million times. The Zoom window allows you to easily control the size and location of the zoom area. Other tools, such as the

waveform buffer, serial decoding and hardware acceleration work with the deep memory, making the PicoScope 6000E Series some of the most powerful oscilloscopes on the

market.
