Pico Technology Ltd. has introduced the PicoScope 4823, its first 8-channel oscilloscope for the automotive market.
The company says the PicoScope 4823 oscilloscope is ideal for those involved in advanced diagnostics, training or vehicle design. The eight channels allow multiple sensors, actuators and CAN / CAN FD signals to be monitored at the same time at up to 80MS/s.
The PicoScope 4823 is ready-configured for automotive probes and includes more than 150 guided tests, plus access to thousands of comparisons in the Pico waveform library, which now supports eight channels.
The 4823 inputs have common grounds protected by self-resetting fuses; this offers less input protection than the floating input design of the 2 and 4 channel 4225/4425 PicoScopes, but by sharing grounds it makes connecting up its 8 channels quicker.
The PicoScope 4823 is an oscilloscope for the expert user with complex problems to diagnose, while the 4425 remains the scope of choice for general workshop use.
Other specifications include 12-bit resolution, 20 MHz bandwidth, a 256 MS buffer memory, and SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface.
