Sampling Picoscope 9211A, still good in 2024 ? (advice required vs used item on sale)

Post by points2 »

Hi everyone & Pico Team,
I triggered on the web a Picoscope 9211A.
I'm an hobbyist, so price is +/- key :-)

It is an old product from Pico, I have "!?" vs reliability. I just ask because I never used any Picoscope ! :D
So, please advice if a buy is "no pb", or... beware about this/that....

Questions :
- if it has been used properly, in 2024, can we expect the hardware to be "ok" and will remains for years ?
- over so many years, can we expect any shifts vs data ? ...given that it is quite a "precision" instrument.
- the interface software for Windows in on the CD provided in the package. I guess the 9200 series is not compatible with the current PicoSample software, correct ?

Thanks for any feedback
Arnaud
