New USB-adaptor for PCs  

Is a Scope-in-a-Probe!

 

 

Pittsford, NY.  PicoScope® 2105 USB Pen Scope packs the features of many high performance bench top oscilloscopes into a small, lightweight and ergonomic probe that fits perfectly in the hand. Used with free PicoScope® software, PicoScope® 2105 converts any laptop or desktop PC into a powerful oscilloscope without the need for additional probes or power supplies. PicoScope® 2105 displays signals from 100mV to 20V. High-bandwidth and fast-sampling PicoScope® 2105 also features ETS (equivalent time sampling) which considerably enhances the sample rate for measuring continuous signals. ETS or “repetitive sampling” works on repeating, stable signals by building up the waveform from successive acquisitions.  An entry-level version PicoScope® 2104 is also available to accommodate less demanding applications.

PicoScope® 2105 is USB2.0-powered and connected (but still works well on USB1.0 ports) and it features a large 24kS buffer and fast 100MS/s sampling so you can zoom in to high-speed signals.  ETS sample rate for stable signals like clocks is up to 2GS/s.  A wide range of drivers is available for most situations, including C, VB, Delphi, LabView, VEE, etc.
