PicoScope 5000D Series Oscilloscope, 60MHz Bandwidth, 2 Channels - PicoScope 5242D
This oscilloscope is a PC-based measurement instrument designed for signal capture and analysis via a USB connection. It provides a compact, portable solution for engineers who need a high-resolution digitiser with multiple serial interfaces for mixed-signal diagnostics. The unit operates from the host USB supply and integrates with vehicle and laboratory communications standards to support a range of electronic troubleshooting tasks.
Features and Benefits:
• 16-bit vertical resolution improves detail in low-amplitude signals
• 1 ns/div minimum timebase enables fine temporal measurements
• 60 MHz bandwidth captures mid-range frequency content effectively
• 5.8 ns rise time allows accurate edge characterisation
• Multiple serial interfaces simplify mixed-protocol testing
• 1 ns/div minimum timebase enables fine temporal measurements
• 60 MHz bandwidth captures mid-range frequency content effectively
• 5.8 ns rise time allows accurate edge characterisation
• Multiple serial interfaces simplify mixed-protocol testing
Applications
• Suitable for automotive network diagnostics with CAN and LIN
• Ideal for embedded systems debugging using SPI, UART and RS232
• Used with sensor research requiring high vertical fidelity
• Can be used for field measurements where USB power is required
• Used for education laboratories needing portable PC-based scopes
