The PicoScope 9400A Series sampler-extended real-time oscilloscopes (SXRTOs) have four high-bandwidth 50 Ω input channels. With market-leading ADC, timing and display resolutions, they are designed for accurately measuring and visualizing high-speed analog and data signals. They are ideal for capturing pulse and step transitions down to 11 ps, impulse down to 22 ps, and clocks and data eyes up to 16 Gb/s.
The SXRTO models offer random sampling, which can readily analyze high-bandwidth applications that involve repetitive signals or clock-related streams. These oscilloscopes are fast; random sampling, persistence displays and statistics all build quickly.
The PicoScope 9400A Series has a built-in internal trigger on every channel, with pre-trigger random sampling to well above the Nyquist (real-time) sampling rate. Bandwidth is up to 33 GHz behind a 50 Ω 2.92 mm (K) female (compatible with SMA) input, and three acquisition modes—real-time, random and roll—all capture at 12-bit resolution into a shared memory of up to 250 kS.
The touch-compatible PicoSample 4 software is the result of over ten years of development, customer feedback and optimization. The display can be resized to fit any window and fully utilize available display resolution, 4K and even larger, or across multiple monitors. Four independent zoom channels can show you different views of your data down to a resolution of 0.2 ps. Most of the controls and status panels can be shown or hidden as needed, allowing you to make optimal use of the display area.
A 2.5 GHz direct trigger can be driven from any input channel, and a built-in divider can extend the off-channel trigger bandwidth to 6 GHz. On the 16, 25 and 33 GHz models, a further external prescaled trigger input allows stable triggering from signals with 16 GHz (9404A-16) and 20 GHz (9404A-25 and 9404A-33) bandwidth respectively. A recovered clock trigger is available up to 11.3 Gb/s, and both recovered clock and data are available on SMA outputs on the rear panel.
