New sprung hook probes and CAT III test prods and leads

You can use our new test prods and leads with the new PicoScope 4444 differential oscilloscope and in many other applications.

  • TA308 and TA309 black and red 1000 V CAT III shrouded 4 mm to 4 mm 0.5 m test leads. Use with any test equipment requiring shrouded 4 mm connectors.
  • TA327 and TA328 black and red unshrouded sprung hooks. For making temporary connections to exposed conductors where touch protection is not required.TA327 & TA328 sprung hooks, TA310 & TA311 test prods

Prize draw winners

We held a series of prize draws at Embedded World in Nuremberg, back in March. The winner of the grand prize, a PicoScope 4444 differential oscilloscope, is:

Dr. Adrian Zink
from Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg

Congratulations, Dr Zink. You can now make four-channel, high-precision, single-ended and differential measurements!

The winners of the daily prize draws are Sascha Grunert, Daniel Baeder and Stefan Paulus, each of whom receives a PicoScope 2206B mixed-signal oscilloscope!

Tech Tip: Multiple view tabs in PicoScope 6

If you create a large number of scope, spectrum and XY views in PicoScope 6, you may find that you run out of screen space. As an alternative, you can stack multiple views in the same viewport, as in this picture. Each view is identified by a tab, with a label that you can edit.

To stack one view on top of another, simply drag the first view's tab on top of the second.
