DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Pico Technology's oscilloscopes compare favorably with their competitors in that all possible functionality is immediately included in the scope of delivery of the device and it does not need to be purchased for additional money.
Among the professional features that are available in any model of the PicoScope 3000D series, deserve special attention: huge built-in memory (up to 512 million samples) with the possibility of segmentation, digital phosphor DPO (100,000 waveforms/s), serial bus decoding (18 protocols), built-in generator standard and arbitrary waveforms (12-bit AWG), mask testing, and more. Also available in MSO models logic analyzer for 16 digital channels.
In addition to the impressive functionality received at the start, you will be able to receive new functions for free during the entire period of using your PicoScope 3000D, which are periodically added by Pico Technology as a control software PicoScope 6, and in the firmware of the oscilloscope itself.
This photo shows the appearance of the PicoScope 3000D series compact 4-channel USB oscilloscope running a laptop with the PicoScope 6 software installed, which is included as standard.
Unparalleled Waveform Experience in PicoScope 6
PicoScope 3000D USB oscilloscopes can be controlled and measured using the PC software PicoScope 6. This provides a significant advantage when working with many analog and digital signals, since a large computer monitor can accommodate much more information than a small screen of a comparable class of stationary oscilloscope. In the PicoScope 6 software settings, you can select Russian user interface.
The screenshot below shows an example of the window of the PicoScope 6 control program. Pay attention to how much information is simultaneously present on the screen and how clearly the smallest signal details and text digital values are visible.
PicoScope 6 supports even large monitors such as Ultra HD 4K (3840 by 2160 pixels). You can work with a large number of signals at the same time, observing them in amazing detail. The signal of the same channel can be viewed in several windows, using in each of them its own scale parameters, its own set of markers and any other settings supported by the program.
Using a familiar computer keyboard and mouse makes it much easier to enter numerical values and work with tabular data, for example, with the results of decoding the logical states of parallel digital buses or serial protocols. And saving measurements directly to a computer disk is much faster and more convenient than transferring files from a desktop oscilloscope using a USB flash drive.
Huge amount of built-in memory of PicoScope 3000D oscilloscopes
All PicoScope 3000D series USB oscilloscopes contain a huge amount of internal memory for their class. Depending on the oscilloscope model, it can store up to 64 Msample in internal memory up to 512 million samples. This makes it possible to record and analyze very long signals.
For example, this screenshot shows a 10 second continuous waveform recording (located on the Scope 1 tab). The other three tabs (Scope 2, 3 and 4) display an enlarged fragment of the same signal with a magnification of 256, 130,000 and 2,000,000 times. This is a very useful feature when working with non-periodic signals and when looking for anomalies in long digital sequences, such as glitches or runts.
The capabilities provided by the large internal memory of the PicoScope 3000D oscilloscopes are further enhanced by the presence hardware segmentation of this memory. In segmentation mode, the entire amount of internal memory is divided into separate parts (maximum 10,000 segments). With each trigger event, the signal is digitized and stored in its segment with the exact time stamp stored, and the minimum time between two separate triggers can be as little as 700 ns.
By storing up to 10,000 waveforms in memory in this way, you can perform a manual or automatic search for various signal anomalies among them, for example, by comparing its shape with a specific mask (template). The window for manually selecting a saved segment is shown in this screenshot. Below it is a graphic illustration of the principle of operation of segmented memory into 100 segments.
Many oscilloscope models equipped with large built-in memory are not able to effectively interact with it. Searching this memory takes a long time and the screen refreshes slowly. This is because the oscilloscope's microprocessor does not have enough processing power to rapidly process the millions of samples stored in memory.
PicoScope 3000D USB oscilloscopes have a special HAL3 hardware accelerator, which is entirely responsible for interacting with their large built-in memory. With the HAL3 accelerator, PicoScope 3000D oscilloscopes can capture, store, process, and display over 440,000,000 samples per second on a computer screen.
As an example, this screenshot shows two plots of the same 2 second waveform with 2,000,000 samples. The signal contains two very short dips. The upper graph is built with the HAL3 hardware accelerator enabled, and the lower graph is disabled. On the upper graph, the HAL3 accelerator instantly processed all 2,000,000 samples, found and correctly displayed all events. In the lower graph, these two important signal changes are completely absent.
DPO Digital Phosphor Technology (Rare Event Detection and Visualization)
In this mode, the PicoScope 3000D Series digitizes and displays up to 100,000 waveforms per second, superimposing them one on top of the other and highlighting with brighter colors those areas of the screen where the signal occurs most often. Such a high speed of processing and visualization of oscillograms became possible thanks to the HAL3 hardware accelerator built into the oscilloscope.
The digital phosphor mode is great for finding rare anomalies (glitches, runts, timing failures), for detecting floating amplitude or frequency of a signal, measuring jitter, and also for checking whether a signal matches a given mask. You can read more about this mode in a special article: DPO digital phosphor technology.
This screenshot shows the operation of the digital phosphor function, which is called Persistence mode in Pico Technology's documentation. Red and yellow colors show places where a signal is more often detected, and shades of blue show places where a signal is rarely detected.
Decoding and analysis of serial protocols
Decoding and analysis of serial bus signals is an integral part of the development and debugging of many electronic devices. PicoScope 3000D Series Oscilloscopes as standard can work with the following serial protocols: I2C, I2S, SPI, UART/RS-232, PS/2, CAN, LIN, 1-Wire, SENT Fast and Slow, Ethernet 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, FlexRay, ARINC 429, DCC, DMX512 and USB 1.1. For many other oscilloscope models, this functionality must be purchased, and for the PicoScope 3000D series, it is absolutely free.
PicoScope 3000D MSO models contain 16 digital channels in addition to analog channels, which further expands the decoding capabilities of serial protocols due to the increased number of connection points. Thus the MSO models have possibility of simultaneous analysis multiple serial bus signals.
An example of car serial CAN decoding is shown in this screenshot. The top of the screen shows the CAN serial data signal, and the bottom shows a very detailed table of decoded values, including data, CRC, timestamps, etc.
Generator of standard and arbitrary signals
All PicoScope 3000D Series oscilloscopes include a built-in standard and arbitrary waveform generator with a maximum amplitude of -2 V to +2 V.
Standard Signal Generator can be used to generate: sine (up to 1 MHz), rectangle, triangle, constant voltage, rising waveform, falling waveform, sinc function waveform, Gaussian noise, etc.
Arbitrary Signal Generator contains a 12-bit DAC with a refresh rate of 20 MS/s. The data comes from the DAC buffer, 32,000 samples in size. The minimum amplitude of the generated signal step is about 1 mV.
Built-in logic analyzer for 16 channels
Of the sixteen models of the PicoScope 3000D series USB oscilloscopes, eight models contain a built-in logic analyzer with 16 digital channels. These models have the suffix MSO in the name, which stands for Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (mixed signal oscilloscope).
This photo shows the appearance of one of these models. 8 out of 16 digital channels of the oscilloscope and 2 out of 4 analog channels are connected to the prototype under study.
Even if you simultaneously display all the analog and all digital signals that the oscilloscope measures on the computer screen, it is still very convenient to work with them, since modern monitors are great for visualizing large amounts of information.
This screenshot shows an example screen when the oscilloscope has two analog and 16 digital channels active. All signals are visible very well.
The sixteen digital channels of the PicoScope 3000D MSO are divided into two groups of 8 channels. In the program settings menu for each of these two groups, you can set your own threshold voltage, either by selecting the logic used (TTL, etc.), or by setting any voltage in the range from -5 V to +5 V.
For visualization convenience, signals can be combined into logically related groups and assigned names: I2C, SPI, UART, etc. A screenshot of the corresponding settings menu is shown below.
PicoScope 3000D MSO oscilloscopes have a very flexible triggering system. It allows you to set various conditions and their combinations, under which the oscilloscope will record all waveforms in memory and display them on the screen for advanced analysis.
For each digital channel, you can set your own trigger conditions, you can also select several channels and configure triggering when a certain digital combination appears on this group of channels. You can add logical operators if necessary. And you can also combine all these digital trigger conditions with the trigger condition for analog channels.
