	Ultimate performance. Ultimate value for money With 4-channels, 350MHz bandwidth and 5GS/s real-time sampling, the PicoScope 6000 Series are the ultimate USB oscilloscopes. A quantum leap in PC-based test equipment, the PicoScope 6000 Series offer world-beating performance together with all the features you would expect from a PicoScope oscilloscope.

What's in the kit • PicoScope 6000 Series oscilloscope • 4 x 10:1 oscilloscope probes • USB cable • Universal AC adaptor • Tough carry case • PicoScope oscilloscope software • Free software updates	Two decades of PC-based design experience and listening to your needs and desires has resulted in the PicoScope 6000 Series — the ultimate in USB oscilloscope design
	•  4 channels •  350MHz bandwidth •  5GS/s real-time sampling •  Up to 1GS memory •  Integrated function and arbitrary waveform generator High bandwidth, high sampling rate With a 350 MHz analog bandwidth complemented by a real-time sampling rate of 5GS/s, your PicoScope 6000 Series scope can display single-shot pulses with 200ps time resolution. ETS mode boosts the maximum sampling rate even further, allowing a more detailed display of repetitive pulses.	More buffer memory than any other oscilloscope The PicoScope 6403 gives you the deepest buffer memory available as standard on any oscilloscope. Other oscilloscopes have high maximum sampling rates, but without deep memory they cannot sustain these rates on long timebases. The PicoScope 6403’s huge 1-gigasample buffer allows you to capture at 5GS/s down to 20ms/ div — that’s a total duration of 200ms. Managing all this data calls for some powerful tools, so PicoScope has a maximum zoom factor of 100 million combined with a choice of two zoom methods. There’s a conventional set of zoom controls, plus an overview window that shows you the whole waveform while you zoom and reposition the display by simply dragging with the mouse. Advanced triggers As well as the standard range of triggers found on most oscilloscopes, your PicoScope 6000 Series scope has a built-in set of advanced triggers to help you capture the data you need.

Pricing*: 6402 Kit   NZ$8024.00* 6403 Kit   NZ$10297.00* *15% GST applicable for sales within NZ Legal and Where to Buy Sitemap Rev.10.10.06. Custom probe settings The custom probes feature allows you to correct for gain, attenuation, offsets and nonlinearities in special probes, or to convert to different units of measurement. You can save definitions to disk for later use. Definitions for standard Pico-supplied probes are included.

High-speed data acquisition The drivers and software development kit (SDK) supplied allow you to write your own software or interface to popular third-party software packages. If the 1 gigasample record length isn’t enough, the drivers support data streaming, a mode that captures gap-free continuous data through the USB port directly to the PC’s RAM or hard disk at a maximum (PC-dependent) rate of 13MS/s. Ultimate performance, ultimate value for money With 4 channels, 350MHz bandwidth, 5GS/s real-time sampling and up to 1GS memory, the PicoScope 6000 Series are the ultimate USB oscilloscopes. A quantum leap in PC-based test equipment, the PicoScope 6000 Series give you world-beating performance together with all the features you would expect from a PicoScope oscilloscope. And — unlike other manufacturers — all features are included in the initial cost (when new features are added you simply need to download a free copy of the software). If you want the ultimate performance and the ultimate value for money, you want a PicoScope 6000 Series oscilloscope. Rapid triggering The PicoScope 6000 Series has high-speed circuitry that can trigger on and capture over 1 million waveforms a second, increasing your chances of spotting an infrequent glitch.
