Overview

The PicoScope 3418E MSO Kit is a high-performance PC-based mixed-signal oscilloscope featuring 4 analog channels and 16 digital channels with a 500MHz bandwidth. It utilizes a USB 3.0 interface and the HAL4 hardware acceleration engine to provide fast waveform updates and deep memory captures of up to 1GSa. This kit includes the necessary probes and adapters to convert a laptop or desktop into a powerful benchtop-class diagnostic tool.

Why Choose This Part

The 10-bit ADC resolution provides higher vertical detail than standard 8-bit scopes, while the 1GSa memory depth allows for capturing long durations at high sampling rates. The inclusion of a built-in function/arbitrary waveform generator and hardware-accelerated segmented memory enables efficient capture of intermittent faults.

Applications

Embedded System Debugging
Correlate analog signals with 16 digital channels to debug timing issues in microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Serial Bus Analysis
Utilize over 40 free serial protocol decoders to troubleshoot CAN, SPI, I2C, and UART communications.
Power Supply Characterization
Use advanced math functions and digital triggering to analyze power-up sequences and ripple voltages.
Automated Production Testing
Integrate the scope into automated test environments using the provided SDK and high-speed USB 3.0 data transfer.

Getting Started

Connect the device to a PC via the USB 3.0 port and install the PicoScope 7 software for Windows, macOS, or Linux. For custom automation, download the PicoSDK to interface with the hardware using C++, C#, Python, or MATLAB.
