Introduction
1.1
Overview
The PicoScope 3000 A and B Series Oscilloscopes and
a range of high-specification, real-time measuring instruments that connect to the USB
port of your computer. The series covers various options of portability, deep memory,
fast sampling rates and high bandwidth, making it a highly versatile range that suits a
wide range of applications. The range includes hi-speed
and SuperSpeed
This manual explains how to use the API (application programming interface) functions,
so that you can develop your own programs to collect and analyse data from the
oscilloscope.
The information in this manual applies to the following oscilloscopes:
PicoScope 3204A/B
PicoScope 3205A/B
PicoScope 3206A/B
PicoScope 3207A/B
High-speed 2-channel
oscilloscopes.
'A' models have a function
generator; 'B' models have an
arbitrary waveform generator.
PicoScope 3204 MSO
PicoScope 3205 MSO
PicoScope 3206 MSO
Mixed-signal oscilloscopes.
MSOs have 2 analog inputs, 16
digital inputs and an arbitrary
waveform generator.
PicoScope 3404A/B
PicoScope 3405A/B
PicoScope 3406A/B
High-speed 4-channel
oscilloscopes.
'A' models have a function
generator; 'B' models have an
arbitrary waveform generator.
