Summary of NEW PICOSCOPE 9400 5 GHZ OSCILLOSCOPE
The PicoScope 9404-05 is a high-performance oscilloscope combining real-time and equivalent-time sampling with 5 GHz bandwidth. It features four input channels, 12-bit resolution, and advanced triggering for analyzing high-speed signals like pulses, clocks, and data eyes up to 3 Gb/s. The device supports rapid acquisition at 2 million captures per second and utilizes the PicoSample 4 software for flexible display management on large monitors.
Parts used in the PicoScope 9404-05:
- Four 5 GHz input channels
- Market-leading ADCs
- Timing and display resolutions
- Built-in full-bandwidth trigger
- PicoSample 4 software
- High-resolution display system
- Four independent zoom channels
The PicoScope 9404-05 is the first of a new class of oscilloscopes that combine the benefits of real-time sampling, equivalent-time sampling and high analog bandwidth.
The PicoScope 9404-05 has four 5 GHz input channels with market-leading ADC, timing and display resolutions for accurately measuring and visualizing high-speed analog and data signals. It is ideal for capturing pulse and step transitions to 70 ps, impulses down to 140 ps and clocks and data eyes to 3 Gb/s. Most high-bandwidth applications involve repetitive signals or clock-related data streams that can be readily analyzed by equivalent-time sampling (ETS). The SXRTO is fast: it quickly builds ETS, persistence displays and statistics with up to 2 million triggered captures per second. The PicoScope 9404-05 has a built-in full-bandwidth trigger on every channel, with pretrigger ETS capture to well above the Nyquist sampling rate. There are three acquisition modes—real time, ETS and roll—all capturing at 12-bit resolution into a shared memory of 250 kS.
Features
- 5 GHz bandwidth, 70 ps transition time
- 1 TS/s (1 ps) equivalent-time sampling
- Four 12-bit 500 MS/s ADCs
- Pulse, eye and mask testing to 70 ps and 3 Gb/s
- Up to 2 million triggered captures per second
- Logical, configurable, touch-compatible Windows user interface
- Comprehensive built-in measurements, zooms, data masks and histograms
The PicoSample 4 software is derived from our existing PicoSample 3 and PicoScope 9000 products, which together represent over ten years of development, customer feedback and optimization.
The high-resolution display can be resized to fit any window, filling 4k and even larger monitors or arrays of monitors. Four independent zoom channels can show you different views of your data down to a resolution of 1 ps. Most of the controls and status panels can be shown or hidden according to your application, allowing you to make optimal use of the display area.
