Three things you can do with Picoscope 9400 Series 5 GHz Oscilloscope

The PicoScope 9404-05 is the first of a new class of oscilloscopes that combine the benefits of real-time sampling, equivalent-time sampling and high analog bandwidth.

• 5 GHz bandwidth, 70 ps transition time
• 1 TS/s (1 ps) equivalent-time sampling
• Four 12-bit 500 MS/s ADCs
• Pulse, eye and mask testing to 70 ps and 3 Gb/s
• Logical, configurable, touch-compatible Windows user interface
• Comprehensive built-in measurements, zooms, data masks and histograms

The PicoScope 9404-05 has four 5 GHz input channels with market-leading ADC, timing and display resolutions for accurately measuring and visualizing high-speed analog and data signals. It is ideal for capturing pulse and step transitions to 70 ps, impulses down to 140 ps and clocks and data eyes to 3 Gb/s. Most high-bandwidth applications involve repetitive signals or clock-related data streams that can be readily analyzed by equivalent-time sampling (ETS). The SXRTO quickly builds ETS, persistence displays and statistics. It has a built-in full-bandwidth trigger on every channel, with pretrigger ETS capture to well above the Nyquist sampling rate. There are three acquisition modes—real time, ETS and roll—all capturing at 12-bit resolution into a shared memory of 250 kS.
