Pico are proud to announce that we placed 58th on the list of the UK's 100 Best Mid-Sized Companies to Work For – the fourth year running that we have featured in this prestigious list!
We also placed 32nd in the East of England’s 75 Best Companies and 2nd in Manufacturing's 5 Best Companies. These awards measure workplace engagement, based on what employees say about the organization, alongside how companies manage, motivate and reward their workforce.
Alan Tong, Pico's Managing Director, said “This has been a tough year for everyone. Covid-19 has affected the working world as a whole. I am so proud of how our team adapted and came together.”
Jane Percy, Chief Operating Officer, continues “It is great to have confirmation that our employees are happy and feel supported through this challenging time. We pride ourselves on listening to the ever-growing needs of our employees while promoting a good work-life balance.” |

PicoScope 7 for Test & Measurement
|
|
 |
PicoScope 7, the next-generation user interface for PicoScope oscilloscopes, is on its way! Windows, Linux and macOS versions of the software are being developed simultaneously, with feature parity across all three.
Major elements already implemented include the basic x and y axis controls, support for analog and digital channels, triggers, time-domain and spectrum-mode displays, rulers, automated measurements, math channels, serial decoding, reference waveforms, buffer memory controls, and signal generator controls.
The current version has been tested for Demo mode and the PicoScope 2000A/B, 3000D and 4000A Series. Other PicoScope devices may also work, but are not yet fully tested. PicoScope 7 will eventually support all current and recently discontinued PicoScope models and most legacy PicoScope USB oscilloscopes.
We invite you to join the PicoScope 7 Early Access program so you can see where we are with the project and provide feedback about the new interface. You can also let us know about any bugs you find (this is software in development – there could be bugs)! We read every item of feedback. |

Video: grounding PicoConnect 900 Series probes
|
|
| We're often asked about the twin ground pins on our PicoConnect 900 Series of low-impedance passive browser probes: do you always need to use both? Can you make measurements using only one of them? Is it OK to connect each one to a "pig-tail" lead on either side? |
|
|
| In this video, Pico's RF Business Development Manager, Mark Ashcroft, demonstrates the different results these methods will yield, using the probes alongside the PicoScope 9400 Series sampler-extended real-time oscilloscopes. |

MIL-STD-1553 serial decoding
|
|
 |
The latest release of PicoScope 6 Beta features a new serial decoder: MIL-STD-1553.
Originally designed as a military avionics data bus, it has since been adopted in a host of other applications, both military and civil. The protocol features dual redundant balanced-line physical layers, a differential network interface, time division multiplexing, half-duplex command/response protocol, and can handle up to 30 Remote Terminals (devices). |

PicoScope 6000C/D Series
Support for OEM and legacy applications
|
|
| When we launched the PicoScope 6000E Series, we ceased production of the previous generation 6000C/D Series. We are aware that some customers have integrated these older models in their own products and systems and rely on their availability to support their own customers or in-house requirements. |
|
|
If you need one or more of these models, please get in touch as soon as possible. We have made a last-time build of PicoScope 6000C/D Series models, and are offering them at prices previously advertised on our website on a first-come-first-served basis, while stocks last. They come with the same five-year Pico warranty and software support as all of our current products.
In addition to this, our Technical Support team is on hand for all customers who are switching from PicoScope 6000C/D models to the 6000E Series, including helping you update your code to work with the newer models.

|
 |
We're happy to announce that the beta.14 update of our brand new PicoLog Cloud software is now officially open and readily available to the public. This release concentrated on optimizing the performance server side and improving reliability of the source client, and as such there were no new features, just lots of bugs fixed and improvements made.
The release notes contain a list of the new features in this build. |
