PicoScope 4224A 2-Ch Oscilloscope (PQ288)

The PicoScope PS 4224A is a 20MHz USB 3-connected PC oscilloscope providing two high-resolution analog channels. This portable scope has a compact footprint, yet its BNC connectors still accept all common probes and accessories. Despite its small size, there is no compromise on performance. With a high vertical resolution of 12 bits, 20 MHz bandwidth, 256 MS buffer memory, and a fast sampling rate of 80 MS/s, the PicoScope 4224A has the advanced measurement power and functionality to deliver accurate results. Straight out of the box, this versatile tool can analyze serial buses such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN and LIN plus control and driver signals. The PicoScope 4000A Series is unlike conventional oscilloscopes with 8-bit resolution and limited capture memory or card-based digitizers that require an expensive mainframe.  

This scope series offers a complimentary PicoScope 7 user interface with time- and frequency-domain waveform views, automatic measurements of important waveform parameters on up to 1M waveform cycles with each triggered acquisition using DeepMeasure™. All models have 12 bits of hardware resolution (to 16 bits with Resolution Enhancement), 80 MS/s sampling rate, 256 MS buffer memory, a built-in Signal Generator / AWG and a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface that powers the instrument and delivers 480Mbit/s communications to the host PC. They run with PicoScope 7 software and have an SDK that gives users direct programming control of the hardware for custom applications. These scopes also work with PicoLog 6 data logging software for lower speed long-duration captures.

With the provided software, it is easy to view audio, ultrasonic, vibration and power waveforms, analyze timing of complex systems, and perform a wide range of precision measurement tasks on multiple inputs at the same time. The 4000A series of oscilloscopes is especially suited to engineers, scientists and technicians working on a wide range of electrical, mechanical, audio, Lidar, radar, ultrasonic, NDT and predictive maintenance systems who need to make precise measurements and analysis of repetitive or single-shot long-duration waveforms.
