The NEW PICO 4000 Series Automotive Diagnostic Kits

image

The only scope that can beat a PICO is another PICO.

And here it is!  The new PICO 4000 series PC-based oscilloscopes are more powerful than ever before. 

Faster Sampling!

The 4000 series can capture signals 4 times faster than any other PICO scope.  This is fast enough to be compatible with the new FlexRay standard, and will keep your scope current with future technologies far longer.

More Memory!

The new PICO 4000 series has more memory than previous scopes...64 times more!  With 32 megabytes of "always on"  memory, and the high sample speeds, catching those elusive "glitches" will be easier than ever.

Higher Input Range

The PICO 4000 series can handle input voltages of +/- 100 volts....meaning the use of attentuators for many automotive voltage levels will no longer be necessary.   Here are the specs:
