In this episode of Product of the Week, Robin takes a look at the PicoScope 2205A, a compact USB oscilloscope from Pico Technology. With two analog channels, 25 MHz bandwidth, and 8-bit resolution, the PicoScope brings waveform viewing and signal analysis to your computer. Use your laptop as the display, save space on your workbench, and take your test equipment out to your next project.
Robin explores the hardware, PicoScope software, and practical uses for desktop testing and field work. From checking PWM outputs and sensor signals to comparing circuit inputs and outputs, this episode covers how a portable oscilloscope fits into your electronics toolkit.
