ADC212/100 Oscilloscope Reviewed
As mentioned last month, Test and Measurement Europe is the first magazine to review our new ADC-212/100 PC based oscilloscope. The article is a group test that compares our scope with offerings from Tektronix, National Instruments and Fluke.
ADC212/100 Sampling Rate Increased
The ADC212/100 already has an impressive sampling rate of 100MS/s: this, combined with the 12 bit resolution and the large 128k buffer memory, makes it the most powerful oscilloscope in our range.
We are soon to release an upgrade to the ADC212 that will boost the sampling rate for repetitive signals to 5GS/s. A second improvement is a faster download speed between the scope and the PC. This gives an increased screen update rate, especially when working with the full 128K buffer memory.
The good news for existing owners of the ADC212/50 and the ADC212/100 is that the hardware to support these improvements is already built into their unit. The good news for prospective customers is that, despite the improved specification, we will not be increasing the price of the product.
The upgrade for existing customers comes in the form of a new version of PicoScope software. If you own a ADC212/50 or ADC212/100 and would like a beta copy of the software, please send an e-mail tomarketing@picotech.com with the subject 'ADC212 beta test software'. When the beta software is available, we will send it to you by e-mail.
More information on the ADC212 range can be found by following the link below. Please note that, until the software is released, the 5GS/s sampling rate for repetitive signals will not be mentioned on the web site.http://www.picotech.com/oscilloscope.html
