Serial Decoding - UPDATE

The new PicoScope beta release, 6.13, adds Modbus RTU and ASCII to its growing list of serial decoders. Modbus is used in industrial automation to communicate with programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

PicoScope 6 now supports a total of 18 serial protocols and is the only oscilloscope that can decode Modbus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can use PicoScope to decode data from a serial bus such as CAN bus. Unlike a conventional bus analyzer, PicoScope lets you see the high-resolution electrical waveform at the same time as the data. RS232/UART and SPI formats added to serial decoding mode

Active Oscilloscope Probes

  Pico Logo

This range includes high-voltage probes that extend the input range of your scope, and high-frequency probes that boost its input impedance for more accurate measurements.
All active probes require a power supply or batteries. Our battery-powered probes are supplied complete with batteries, while optional AC adaptors are available for the externally powered types. Read our application note: Choosing the right Pico Technology active differential probe.
For making differential measurements from millivolts to 1000V CAT III also consider the PicoScope 4444 differential input oscilloscope

25 MHz, 700 V Differential oscilloscope probe x10/x100 (TA041)

The TA041 is an active differential oscilloscope probe. The probe permits the measurement of signals which are not referenced to earth using a conventional earthed oscilloscope. This enables mains voltages to be tested. It is possible to measure and observe the waveforms of three phase supplies or the gate/control signals of semiconductor circuits. It is ideal for investigation of motor speed controls, uninterruptible power supplies, switch mode power supplies and process controllers.
