PicoScope Oscilloscope Software

With your PicoScope 6000 Series USB oscilloscope you also get a comprehensive suite of software that enables you to get the most from your scope.

PicoScope is your complete test and measurement lab in one easy–to–use application.


PicoScope at a glance

PicoScope 6 includes the following features:

  • 10,000 waveform buffer
  • Advanced triggering
  • Advanced zoom controls
  • Arbitrary waveform generator
  • Auto–arrange axes
  • Auto setup
  • Automated measurements
  • AWG editor
  • CMD–line file conversions
  • Continuous streaming mode
  • Custom probes
  • Digital persistence mode
  • Easy data export
  • Equivalent time sampling
  • Free updates
  • Linear interpolation
  • Low–pass filtering
  • Mask limit testing
  • Math functions
  • Rapid trigger mode
  • Reference waveforms
  • Resolution enhancement
  • Serial decoding
  • Sin(x)/x interpolation
  • Spectrum analyzer mode
  • XY oscilloscope mode

Start PicoScope, click Auto setup and your PC is transformed into a powerful oscilloscope with the timebase and triggering already set up. Click Persistence mode and you can emulate the phosphor display of a conventional analog scope — useful for displaying complex analog signals and spotting glitches. Click Spectrum mode and your PC becomes an FFT spectrum analyzer. And there’s more…

Arbitrary waveform and function generator

With PicoScope you can generate standard waveforms from DC to 20 MHz  or define your own using the power of the integrated 12–bit, 200 MS/s  arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). You can import arbitrary waveforms from data files or draw them using the built–in AWG editor.

Feature–rich but still fast and easy to use

Despite the many advanced features and functions, PicoScope is still fast and easy to use. Even if you’ve used a traditional “knobs and buttons” oscilloscope for many years, the intuitive controls and familiar Windows user interface of PicoScope make it incredibly easy to use.

PicoScope software is regularly updated with feature extensions and improvements. These can be downloaded for free from our website and ensure that your oscilloscope will always have the latest features and enhancements.

Software Development Kit

SDK

Your PicoScope Oscilloscope comes complete with a software development kit (SDK). The SDK contains a range of software drivers and example code that you can use to write your own software or to use your PicoScope Oscilloscope with third party software.
