With the Picoscope 5000, what exactly is its maximum sample rate? I'm looking at the different sources of info on it from the various pages on your site. On this page https://www.picotech.com/library/oscilloscopes/streaming-mode it says that the maximum USB streaming sample rate for the 5000 series ...

the 2204A has only 8kb buffer memory, have you calculated how short of a hick-up in USB streaming causes a buffer overflow, at that speed even a mouse click can cause a buffer overflow. Go for a scope with enough memory to buffer at least 0.5 sec of data at your max streaming speed. And USB3 is a l...

I hope this helps but if you need further clarification, please post back here. It would be useful to know the number of channels you require, the sampling rate, the number of samples per channel and the number of waveform you would like to capture. I need only one channel, and its bandwidth must b...

First let me explain how I think it works. My understanding is streaming works like this: sample number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... Every single sample is transferred over the USB port, as it is generated by the oscilloscope. And that block transfer mode works like this: Block 1 samples: 1 2 3 4 5 ...

Every post I make gets moderated before appearing. How do I get my posts to appear immediately?

Ben, Reading your post I remembered seeing something a while ago. (ok a long while ago 8) ) https://www.picotech.com/support/topic11185.html And the result. http://codeandlife.com/2012/07/31/realtime-composite-video-decoding-with-picoscope/ And in color http://codeandlife.com/2012/09/12/color-compo...

For some reason, when I made the previous post, the quoted post remained, but my own content disappeared. So I'm posting again, this time with JUST the content, which was supposed to have been in the previous post. Thanks for the info. However, that still doesn't take into account my intended use. I...

Hi Ben321, There is no extra filter in the signal path. In the industry of Data Acquisition, the manufacturers goals are to provide a well specified, high quality instrument at a cost-effective price. When designing with ADC's you do indeed need to avoid aliasing and other phenomena that will degra...

Take a look at 4000 series which are 12 bit, or the 16 bit PicoScope 4262 which is designed for audio applications. Additionally there are the flexible resolution 5000 series which can switch between 8/12/14/15/16 bits depending upon number of active channels and speed of sampling required. Thanks ...

I noticed the specs on your scopes are all 8bits, and 12bits only with enhancement enabled. Do you actually sell any scopes that have bitdepth greater than 8 bits? I'm thinking 14 to 16 bits would be good actually. I know that even cheap soundcards have 16bit ADCs (analog to digital converters) in t...
