PicoScope 4224 IEPE Oscilloscope The 2-channel IEPE version is compatible with industry-standard IEPE (integrated electronics piezoelectric) accelerometers and microphones, making it suitable for a variety of measurement applications including noise and vibration analysis. Convenience and speed The PicoScope 4000 Series scopes obtain their power from the USB 2.0 interface, so there's no need for an external power supply. The USB port also delivers high-speed data to your PC to give you a responsive, highresolution display. A maximum sampling rate of 80 MS/s is combined with a high resolution of 12 bits, giving you 16 times better vertical resolution than most standard scopes. Quick and powerful zoom Deep memory The 32 M sample buffer is `always on'. There is never a compromise between buffer size and waveform update rate, because the PicoScope 4000 Series always maximises both at the same time. Now you can capture every waveform with full detail without having to think about it. Advanced software Spectrum analyzer The scopes are bundled with the latest version of PicoScope for Windows. PicoScope is easy to use and can export data in a variety of graphical, text and binary formats. Also included are Windows drivers and example programs. Mask limit testing PicoScope allows you to draw a mask around any signal with user-defined tolerances. This has been designed specifically for production and debugging environments, enabling you to compare signals. Simply capture a known good signal, draw a mask around it, and then attach the system under test. PicoScope will capture any intermittent glitches and can show a failure count and other statistics in the Measurements window. Mask limit testing The numerical and graphical mask editors can be used separately or in combination, allowing you to enter accurate mask specifications, modify existing masks, and import and export masks as files. Math channels With PicoScope you can perform a variety of mathematical calculations on your input signals and reference waveforms. Math channels Use the built-in list for simple functions such as addition and inversion, or open the equation editor and create complex functions involving trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms, statistics, integrals and derivatives. Advanced triggers Advanced triggers As well as the standard range of triggers found on most oscilloscopes, the PicoScope 4000 Series offers one of the best selections of advanced triggers available. These include pulse width, windowed and dropout triggers to help you find and capture your signal quickly.
