PicoScope® 6000E Series Product overview The PicoScope 6000E Series fixed-resolution and FlexRes oscilloscopes provide 8 to 12 bits of vertical resolution, with up to 1 GHz bandwidth and 5 GS/s sampling rate. Models with four or eight analog channels have the timing and amplitude resolution you need to reveal critical signal integrity issues such as timing errors, glitches, dropouts, crosstalk and metastability issues. Typical applications These oscilloscopes are ideal for design engineers working with high-performance embedded systems, signal processing, power electronics, mechatronics and automotive designs, and for researchers and scientists working on multi-channel high-performance experiments in physics labs, particle accelerators and similar facilities. Best-in-class bandwidth, sampling rate and memory depth Capture time in PicoScope 6 at maximum sampling rate: 200 ms at 5 GS/s With up to 1 GHz analog bandwidth complemented by a real-time sampling rate of

5 GS/s, the PicoScope 6000E Series scopes

can display single-shot pulses with 200 ps time resolution. The PicoScope 6000E Series gives you the deepest capture memory available as standard on any oscilloscope – up to 4 GS in total. This ultra-deep memory allows the oscilloscope to capture 200 ms waveforms at its maximum sampling rate of 5 GS/s. Custom applications using PicoSDK can allocate the scope’s whole memory to a single waveform and sustain the maximum 5 GS/s sampling rate for even longer captures, up to an incredible 800 ms. The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface and hardware acceleration ensure that the display is smooth and responsive even with long captures. The PicoScope 6000E Series gives you the waveform memory, resolution and analysis tools that you need to perform stringent testing of today’s high-performance embedded computers and next-generation embedded system designs.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Power, portability and performance Traditional benchtop mixed-signal oscilloscopes take up a lot of bench space, and models with eight analog channels are prohibitively expensive for many engineers working on next-generation designs. PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes are small and portable while offering the high-performance specifications required by engineers in the lab or on the move, and deliver lowest cost of ownership for this class of instrument. The PicoScope 6000E Series offers up to 8 analog channels, plus an optional 8 or 16 digital channels with the plug-in 8-channel TA369 MSO (mixed-signal oscilloscope) pods. The flexible high-resolution display options enable you to view and analyze each signal in detail. Supported by PicoScope 6 software, these devices offer an ideal, cost-effective package for many applications, including design, research, test, education, service, and repair. PicoScope 6 is included in the price of your scope, available for free download, with free updates, and can be installed on as many PCs as you want, allowing you to view/analyze data off-line without the scope.

PicoScope® 6000E Series What is FlexRes? Pico FlexRes flexible-resolution oscilloscopes allow you to reconfigure the scope hardware to optimize either the sampling rate or the resolution. This means you can reconfigure the hardware to be either a fast (5 GS/s) 8-bit oscilloscope for looking at digital signals, a 10-bit oscilloscope for general-purpose use or a high-resolution 12-bit oscilloscope for audio work and other analog applications. Whether you’re capturing and decoding fast digital signals or looking for distortion in sensitive analog signals, FlexRes oscilloscopes are the answer. FlexRes is available on the 8-channel PicoScope 6824E and the 4-channel PicoScope 6424E, 6425E and 6426E. Resolution enhancement—a digital signal processing technique built into PicoScope 6— can further increase the effective vertical resolution of the scope to 16 bits. FlexRes – how we do it Most digital oscilloscopes gain their high sampling rates by interleaving multiple 8-bit ADCs. This interleaving process introduces errors that always make the dynamic performance worse than that of the individual ADC cores. The FlexRes architecture employs multiple high-resolution ADCs at the input channels in different time-interleaved and parallel combinations to optimize, for example, the sampling rate to 5 GS/s at 8 bits or the resolution to 12 bits at 1.25 GS/s. For simplicity, the diagram shows one bank of four channels; the 8-channel PicoScope 6824E has two banks. The 4-channel FlexRes models use one quad-ADC chip for each pair of analog channels. Coupled with high signal-to-noise ratio amplifiers and a low- noise system architecture, FlexRes technology can capture and display signals up to 1 GHz with a high sampling rate, or lower- speed signals with 16 times more resolution than typical 8-bit oscilloscopes. PicoScope 6 software lets you choose between setting the resolution manually and leaving the scope in auto resolution mode, where the optimal resolution is used for the chosen settings. 12 bits 10 bits 8 bits * See technical specifications for channel and sampling rate combinations. MULTI-CHANNEL* Independent sampling on all channels at 8-bit or 10-bit resolution. TIME-INTERLEAVED* Maximum 5 GS/s sampling rate in 8 or 10-bit mode. PARALLEL* Simultaneous sampling in 12-bit mode at up to 1.25 GS/s on two channels. ADC

PicoScope® 6000E Series Mixed-signal operation When fitted with optional 8-channel TA369 MSO pods, the PicoScope 6000E Series adds up to 16 high-performance digital channels to up to eight analog channels, enabling you to accurately time-correlate analog and digital signals. Digital channel bandwidth is 500 MHz, equivalent to 1 Gb/s, and the input capacitance of only 3.5 pF minimizes loading on the device under test. Digital channels, captured from either parallel or multiple serial buses, may be grouped and displayed as a bus, with each bus value displayed in hex, binary or decimal, or as a level (for DAC testing). You can set advanced triggers across the analog and digital channels. The digital inputs also bring extra power to the serial decoding feature. You can decode serial data on all analog and digital channels simultaneously, giving you up to 24 channels of data – for example, decoding multiple SPI, I²C, CAN bus, LIN bus and FlexRay signals all at the same time!

PicoScope® 6000E Series PicoScope 6 software - mixed-signal (MSO) operation The PicoScope 6000E Series adds up to 16 digital channels to the existing analog channels with the optional 8-channel TA369 MSO pods, enabling you to accurately time-correlate analog and digital channels. Digital channels may be grouped and displayed as a bus, with each bus value displayed in hex, binary or decimal or as a level (for DAC testing). You can set advanced triggers across both the analog and digital channels. The digital inputs also bring extra power to the serial decoding options.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Advanced display PicoScope 6 software dedicates the majority of the display area to the waveform, ensuring that the maximum amount of data is visible at all times. The size of the display is only limited by the size of your computer’s monitor, so even with a laptop, the viewing area is much bigger, with much higher resolution, than that of a benchtop scope. With such a large display area available, you can create a customizable split-screen display and view multiple channels or different views of the same signal at the same time – the software can even show multiple oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer views at once. Each view has separate zoom, pan and filter settings, for ultimate flexibility. You can control the PicoScope software using a mouse, a touchscreen or customizable keyboard shortcuts. PicoScope 6 custom colors In PicoScope 6, you can customize the color scheme and line thicknesses. Display elements you can adjust in this way include the channel traces, background color and grid lines. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connection PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes feature a USB 3.0 connection, providing lightning-fast saving of waveforms while retaining compatibility with older USB standards. PicoSDK supports continuous streaming to the host computer at rates of over 300 MS/s. The USB connection not only allows high-speed data acquisition and transfer, but also makes printing, copying, saving and emailing your data from the field quick and easy.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Signal fidelity Careful front-end design and shielding reduces noise, crosstalk and harmonic distortion. PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes exhibit a dynamic performance of up to 60 dB SFDR. With PicoScope 6, when you probe a circuit, you can trust in the waveform you see on the screen. High resolution for low-level signals With their 12-bit resolution, the PicoScope 6824E, 6424E, 6425E and 6426E can display low-level signals at high zoom factors. This allows you to view and measure features such as noise and ripple superimposed on larger DC or low-frequency voltages. Additionally, you can use the lowpass filtering controls on each channel independently, to hide noise and reveal the underlying signal.

PicoScope® 6000E Series High-end features as standard Buying a PicoScope is not like making a purchase from other oscilloscope companies, where optional extras considerably increase the price. With our scopes, high-end features such as serial decoding, mask limit testing, advanced math channels, segmented memory, hardware-based time-stamping and a signal generator are all included in the price. To protect your investment, both the PC software and firmware inside the scope can be updated. Pico Technology has a long history of providing new features for free through software downloads. We deliver on our promises of future enhancements year after year. Users of our products reward us by becoming lifelong customers and frequently recommending us to their colleagues. Total cost of ownership (TCO), environmental benefits and portability Total cost of ownership of a PicoScope 6000E is lower than traditional benchtop instruments for several reasons: 1. Low power consumption—just 60 W—saves hundreds of dollars throughout the lifetime of the product compared to benchtop instruments. It’s kinder to the environment too, with lower CO2 emissions. 2. Everything is included in the purchase price: serial protocol decoders, math channels and mask limit testing. No expensive optional upgrades or annual license fees. 3. Free updates: new features and capabilities are provided throughout the lifetime of the product as we develop and release them. 4. The PicoScope 6000E Series are highly portable and are very suited to home-working where desk space might be limited.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Ultra-deep memory PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes have waveform capture memories of up to 4 gigasamples – many times larger than competing scopes. Deep memory enables the capture of long-duration waveforms at maximum sampling speed. In fact, the PicoScope 6000E Series can capture waveforms 200 ms long with 200 ps resolution. In contrast, the same 200 ms waveform captured by an oscilloscope with a 10 megasample memory would have just 20 ns resolution. The scope automatically shares the capture memory between the analog channels and MSO ports you have enabled. Deep memory is invaluable when you need to capture fast serial data with long gaps between packets, or nanosecond laser pulses spaced milliseconds apart, for example. It can be useful in other ways too: PicoScope lets you divide the capture memory into a number of segments, up to 10 000. You can set up a trigger condition to store a separate capture in each segment, with as little as 300 ns dead time between captures. Once you have acquired the data, you can step through the memory one segment at a time until you find the event you are looking for. Powerful tools are included to allow you to manage and examine all of this data. As well as functions such as mask limit testing and color persistence mode, PicoScope 6 software enables you to zoom into your waveform up to 100 million times. The Zoom Overview window allows you to easily control the size and location of the zoom area. Other tools, such as the waveform buffer, serial decoding and hardware acceleration work with the deep memory, making the PicoScope 6000E Series some of the most powerful oscilloscopes on the market.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Persistence mode PicoScope’s persistence mode options allow you to see old and new data superimposed, making it easy to spot glitches and dropouts and estimate their relative frequency – useful for displaying and interpreting complex analog signals such as video waveforms and amplitude modulated signals. Color-coding and intensity-grading show which areas are stable and which are intermittent. Choose between Digital Color, Analog Intensity, Fast and Advanced display modes or create your own custom setup. An important specification to understand when evaluating oscilloscope performance, especially in persistence mode, is the waveform update rate, which is expressed as waveforms per second. While the sampling rate indicates how frequently the oscilloscope samples the input signal within one waveform or cycle, the waveform capture rate refers to how quickly an oscilloscope acquires waveforms. Oscilloscopes with high waveform capture rates provide better visual insight into signal behavior and dramatically increase the probability that the oscilloscope will quickly capture transient anomalies such as jitter, runt pulses and glitches – that you may not even know exist. The PicoScope 6000E Series’ HAL4 hardware acceleration can achieve update rates of 300 000 waveforms per second in fast persistence mode.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Serial bus decoding and protocol analysis PicoScope can decode 1-Wire, ARINC 429, BroadR-Reach, CAN & CAN FD, DALI, DCC, DMX512, Ethernet 10Base-T, Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX, FlexRay, I²C, I²S, LIN, Manchester, Modbus ASCII (RS-232/RS-485) and Modbus RTU (RS-232/RS-485), PS/2, SENT Fast, SENT Slow, SPI, UART (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485), and USB (1.0/1.1) protocol data as standard, with more protocols in development and available in the future with free-of-charge software upgrades. Graph format shows the decoded data (in hex, binary, decimal or ASCII) in a data-bus timing format beneath the waveform on a common time axis, with error frames marked in red. These frames can be zoomed to investigate noise or signal integrity issues. Table format shows a list of the decoded frames, including the data and all flags and identifiers. You can set up filtering conditions to display only the frames you are interested in or search for frames with specified properties. The statistics option reveals more detail about the physical layer such as frame times and voltage levels. PicoScope can also import a spreadsheet to decode the data into user-defined text strings. Click on a frame in the table to zoom the oscilloscope display and show the waveform for that frame. Link File helps to speed analysis by cross referencing hexadecimal field values into human readable form. So, for example, instead of displaying “Address: 7E” in the Table View, the corresponding text “Set Motor Speed” will be shown instead, or whatever is appropriate. The Link File template with all field headings can be created directly from the serial table toolbar, and edited manually as a spreadsheet to apply the cross reference values.

PicoScope® 6000E Series DeepMeasure One waveform, millions of measurements. Measurement of waveform pulses and cycles is key to verification of the performance of electrical and electronic devices. DeepMeasure delivers automatic measurements of important waveform parameters, such as pulse width, rise time and voltage, for every individual cycle in the captured waveforms. Up to a million cycles can be displayed with each triggered acquisition or combined across multiple acquisitions. Results can be easily sorted, analyzed and correlated with the waveform display, or exported as a CSV file or spreadsheet for further analysis. For example, use DeepMeasure with PicoScope’s rapid trigger mode to capture 10 000 pulses and quickly find those with the largest or smallest amplitude, or use your scope’s deep memory to record a million cycles of one waveform and export the rise time of every single edge for statistical analysis.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Mask limit testing Mask limit testing allows you to compare live signals against known good signals, and is designed for production and debugging environments. Simply capture a known good signal, draw (or have PicoScope auto-generate) a mask and then measure the system under test. PicoScope will check for mask violations and perform pass/fail testing, capture intermittent glitches, and can show a failure count and other statistics in the Measurements window. Masks can be saved in a library for future use, and exported/imported to share with other PicoScope users. Waveform buffer and navigator Ever spotted a glitch on a waveform, but by the time you’ve stopped the scope it has gone? With PicoScope you don’t need to worry about missing glitches or other transient events. PicoScope can store the last ten thousand oscilloscope or spectrum waveforms in its circular waveform buffer. The buffer navigator provides an efficient way of navigating and searching through waveforms, effectively letting you turn back time. Tools such as mask limit testing can also be used to scan through each waveform in the buffer looking for mask violations.

PicoScope® 6000E Series FFT spectrum analyzer The spectrum view plots amplitude against frequency and is ideal for finding noise, crosstalk or distortion in signals. The spectrum analyzer in PicoScope is of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) type which, unlike a traditional swept spectrum analyzer, can display the spectrum of a single, non-repeating waveform. With up to a million points, PicoScope’s FFT has excellent frequency resolution and a low noise floor. With a click of a button, you can display a spectrum plot of the active channels, with a maximum frequency of up to 1 GHz. A full range of settings gives you control over the number of spectrum bands (FFT bins), scaling (including log/log) and display modes (instantaneous, average, or peak-hold). A selection of window functions allow you to optimize for selectivity, accuracy or dynamic range. You can display multiple spectrum views alongside oscilloscope views of the same data. A comprehensive set of automatic frequency-domain measurements can be added to the display, including THD, THD+N, SNR, SINAD and IMD. A mask limit test can be applied to a spectrum and you can even use the AWG and spectrum mode together to perform swept scalar network analysis. FM radio broadcasts

PicoScope® 6000E Series Powerful tools provide endless options Your PicoScope is provided with many powerful tools to help you acquire and analyze waveforms. While these tools can be used on their own, the real power of PicoScope lies in the way they have been designed to work together. As an example, the rapid trigger mode allows you to collect 10 000 waveforms in a few milliseconds with minimal dead time between them. Manually searching through these waveforms would be time-consuming, so just pick a waveform you are happy with and let the mask tools scan through for you. When done, the measurements will tell you how many have failed and the buffer navigator allows you to hide the good waveforms and just display the problem ones. The screenshot below shows a plot of the changing frequency of the signal on channel A versus time as a graph. Perhaps instead you want to plot changing duty cycle as a graph? How about outputting a waveform from the AWG and also automatically saving the waveform to disk when a trigger condition is met? With the power of PicoScope the possibilities are almost endless. To find out even more about the capabilities of PicoScope software, visit our online A to Z of PC Oscilloscopes.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Arbitrary waveform and function generator The PicoScope 6000E scopes have a built-in 50 MHz function (sine and square wave) generator, with triangle, DC level, white noise, PRBS and other waveforms possible at lower frequencies. As well as basic controls to set level, offset and frequency, more advanced controls allow you to sweep over a range of frequencies. Combined with the spectrum peak- hold option, this makes a powerful tool for testing amplifier and filter responses. Trigger tools allow one or more cycles of a waveform to be output when various conditions are met, such as the scope triggering or a mask limit test failing. All models include a 14-bit 200 MS/s arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). This has a variable sample clock, which avoids the jitter on waveform edges seen with fixed-clock generators and allows generation of accurate frequencies down to 100 µHz. AWG waveforms can be created or edited using the built-in editor, imported from oscilloscope traces, loaded from a spreadsheet or exported to a CSV file.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Digital triggering architecture Many digital oscilloscopes still use an analog trigger architecture based on comparators. This causes time and amplitude errors that cannot always be calibrated out and often limits the trigger sensitivity at high bandwidths. In 1991 Pico pioneered the use of fully digital triggering using the actual digitized data. This technique reduces trigger errors and allows our oscilloscopes to trigger on the smallest signals, even at the full bandwidth. Trigger levels and hysteresis can be set with high precision and resolution. Advanced triggers The PicoScope 6000E Series offers an industry-leading set of advanced trigger types including pulse width, runt pulse, windowed, logic and dropout. The digital trigger available during MSO operation allows you to trigger the scope when any or all of the 16 digital inputs match a user-defined pattern. You can specify a condition for each channel individually, or set up a pattern for all channels at once using a hexadecimal or binary value. You can also use the logic trigger to combine the digital trigger with an edge or window trigger on any of the analog inputs, for example to trigger on data values in a clocked parallel bus. Alarms PicoScope can be programmed to execute actions when certain events occur. The events that can trigger an alarm include mask limit fails, trigger events and buffers full. The actions that PicoScope can execute include saving a file, playing a sound, executing a program and triggering the signal generator or the AWG. Alarms, coupled with mask limit testing, help create a powerful and time-saving waveform monitoring tool. Capture a known good signal, auto-generate a mask around it and then use the alarms to automatically save any waveform (complete with a time/date stamp) that does not meet specification.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Time-stamping The PicoScope 6000E Series features hardware-based trigger time-stamping. Each waveform can be time-stamped with the time in sample intervals from the previous waveform. Fast trigger rearm times are possible down to 300 ns (typical). Hardware acceleration engine (HAL4) Some oscilloscopes struggle when you enable deep memory; the screen update rate slows and the controls become unresponsive. The PicoScope 6000E Series avoids this limitation with the use of a dedicated fourth-generation hardware acceleration (HAL4) engine inside the oscilloscope. Its massively parallel design effectively creates the waveform image to be displayed on the PC screen and allows the continuous capture and display to the screen of 2.5 billion samples every second. The hardware acceleration engine eliminates any concerns about the USB connection or PC processor performance being a bottleneck.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Ultra-high-definition display PicoScope PC-based instruments use the host computer’s display, which is typically larger and of higher resolution than the dedicated displays installed in traditional benchtop oscilloscopes. This allows room for simultaneous display of time- and frequency-domain waveforms, decoded serial bus tables, measurement results with statistics and more. PicoScope 6 software scales automatically to take full advantage of the improved resolution of larger display sizes, including 4K ultra-high definition models. At 3840 x 2160 resolution—over eight million pixels—PicoScope allows engineers to get more done in less time through split-screen views of multiple channels (or different views of the same channel) from the device under test. As the example shows, the software can even show multiple oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer traces at once. Large, high-resolution displays really come into their own when viewing high-resolution signals with the PicoScope 6426E, 6425E, 6824E and 6424E 8- to 12-bit FlexRes models. With a 4K monitor, PicoScope can display more than ten times the information of some of our competitors’ scopes, solving the problem of how to match a big display and features with a small-footprint portable oscilloscope. PicoScope also supports dual monitors: instrument control and waveforms displayed on the first, and large data sets from serial protocol decoders or DeepMeasure results on the second. The software can be controlled by mouse, touchscreen or keyboard shortcuts.

PicoScope® 6000E Series Math channels and filters With PicoScope 6 you can select simple functions such as addition and inversion, or open the equation editor to create complex functions involving filters (lowpass, highpass, bandpass and bandstop filters), trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms, statistics, integrals and derivatives. Display up to eight real or calculated channels in each scope view. If you run out of space, just open another scope view and add more. You can also use math channels to reveal new details in complex signals, for example graphing the changing duty cycle or frequency of your signal over time. Custom probes in PicoScope oscilloscope software The custom probes feature allows you to correct for gain, attenuation, offsets and nonlinearities in probes, sensors or transducers that you connect to the oscilloscope. This could be used to scale the output of a current probe so that it correctly displays amperes. A more advanced use would be to scale the output of a nonlinear temperature sensor using the table lookup function. Definitions for standard Pico-supplied oscilloscope probes and current clamps are included. User-created probes may be saved for later use.

PicoScope® 6000E Series PicoLog 6 software PicoScope 6000E Series oscilloscopes are also supported by the PicoLog 6 data logging software, allowing you to view and record signals on multiple units in one capture. PicoLog 6 allows sample rates of up to 1 kS/s per channel, and is ideal for long-term observation of general parameters, such as voltage or current levels, on several channels at the same time, whereas the PicoScope 6 software is more suitable for waveshape or harmonic analysis. You can also use PicoLog 6 to view data from your oscilloscope alongside a data logger or other device. For example, you could measure voltage and current with your PicoScope and plot both against temperature using a TC-08 thermocouple data logger. PicoLog 6 is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, including Raspberry Pi OS.

PicoScope® 6000E Series TA369 MSO pod The PicoScope 6000E Series can be upgraded to MSO capability by adding one or two active MSO pods. Each pod features eight permanently attached flying leads terminating in MSO probes for connection to the circuit under test. The active MSO pods bring the MSO input circuitry closer to the device under test, minimizing loading and giving the best possible performance. The MSO pod connects to either of two digital interface ports on the scope front panel using a 0.5 m digital interface cable and is powered by the scope. All PicoScope 6000E Series models support up to two MSO pods. The innovative single and multi-way ground clips allow fast and flexible connection to all signal and ground pins in a double row header, regardless of where the layout engineer has placed them. Features:

• 8 digital inputs per pod
• 500 MHz bandwidth, 1 Gb/s
• 5 GS/s sampling on 16 digital channels
• 1 ns minimum pulse width
• Minimal load on the device under test: 101 kΩ ∥ 3.5 pF
• Innovative ground clips for easy connection to 2-row, 2.54 mm-pitch headers
• 8 ground leads and 12 mini test hooks included An MSO pod spares kit (PQ221) is also available, which contains extra 1-way, 4-way and 8-way MSO ground clips and MSO ground leads. For a header with a mix of non-adjacent and adjacent signal pins. For headers with signal pins on one row and grounds on the other row. For headers with signals situated together and not enough grounds. A ground lead can be used to connect to a remote ground pin on the device under test. Optional accessories

PicoScope® 6000E Series Probe positioning system The Pico oscilloscope probe positioning system holds your circuit board firmly during soldering, inspection and test. The kits include flexible probe holders which secure magnetically to the steel base plate. When the probes are installed in the holders they can be positioned to make contact with points of interest on the circuit board and will remain in contact while you make measurements in the PicoScope software. The large steel base plate is mirror-finished allowing you to see any items such as status LEDs underneath the PCB.
