PicoScope 4424A 4-Ch Oscilloscope (PQ289)

The PicoScope PS 4424A is a 20MHz USB 3-connected PC oscilloscope providing four 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 4424A has the advanced measurement power and functionality to deliver accurate results. This versatile measurement 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. The scopes also work with PicoLog 6 data logging software for lower speed long-duration captures.

With the provided software, it is easy to view up to four synchronized channels of 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.
