PicoScope 9404A-25 4-Ch 25 GHz Sampler-Extended Real-Time Oscilloscope (PQ355)

Pico has announced the 9400A Series SXRTO Oscilloscopes with up to 33GHz bandwidth. The models are: 9404A-33 (33GHz), 9404A-16 (16GHz), and 9404A-06 (6GHz), which join the existing PicoScope 9404A-25 25GHz 4 channel Sampler-extended real-time oscilloscope.  The oscilloscope’s 12-bit vertical resolution allows up to ±1V input signal range, with <12ps rise time, <1.5ps RMS jitter, and 12-bit resolution to make the 9400A Series a valuable tool for ultra-precise, wide-bandwidth signal analysis.

The PicoScope 9400 Series sampler-extended real-time oscilloscopes (SXRTOs) have two or four high-bandwidth 50 Ω input channels with market-leading ADC, timing and display resolutions for accurately measuring and visualizing high-speed analog and data signals. They are ideal for capturing pulse and step transitions down to 14 ps, impulse down to 28 ps, and clocks and data eyes up to 16 Gb/s (with optional 11.3 Gb/s clock recovery).

The PicoScope SXRTOs offer random sampling, which can readily analyze high-bandwidth applications that involve repetitive signals or clock-related streams.

The SXRTO is fast: random sampling, persistence displays and statistics all build quickly.The PicoScope 9400 Series has a built-in internal trigger on every channel, with pre-trigger random sampling to well above the Nyquist (real-time) sampling rate. Bandwidth is up to 25 GHz behind a 50 Ω 2.92 mm (K) female (compatible with SMA) input, and three acquisition modes—real-time, random and roll—all capture at 12-bit resolution into a shared memory of up to 250 kS.

The touch-compatible PicoSample 4 software is embodies over ten years of development, customer feedback and optimization.

The display can be resized to fit any window and fully utilize available display resolution, 4K and even larger or across multiple monitors. Four independent zoom channels can show you different views of your data down to a resolution of 0.4 ps. Most of the controls and status panels can be shown or hidden according to your application, allowing you to make optimal use of the display area.

A 2.5 GHz direct trigger can be driven from any input channel, and a built-in divider can extend the off-channel trigger bandwidth to 5 GHz. On the 16 and 25 GHz models a further external prescaled trigger input allows stable trigger from signals from 16 to 20 GHz bandwidth and, from the internal triggers, recovered clock trigger is available (if optional clock recovery is fitted) at up to 11.3 Gb/s. With this option, recovered clock and data are both available on SMA outputs on the rear panel. The price you pay for your PicoScope SXRTO is the price you pay for everything – we don’t charge you for software features or updates.

These oscilloscopes are designed for engineers working both in research laboratories and in production environments, and who, above all, need characteristics associated with flexible measurements of wide-bandwidth signals:
