| PicoScope 4262 | 2 | 5 MHz | 16-bit | 10 MS/s | 16 MS |
Key Features
16-bit High-resolution Acquisition
65,536 vertical levels help resolve small analog details that are hidden on standard 8-bit oscilloscopes.
Low Noise and Low Distortion
Designed for analog signal quality work, with low noise and high SFDR for audio, sensors and precision measurements.
Oscilloscope and FFT Analyzer
Use time-domain and frequency-domain views for distortion, vibration, ultrasound and spectral analysis.
16 MS Deep Buffer
Capture longer records at high sampling rate, including 10 MS/s captures over extended timebases.
Built-in Generator and AWG
Includes a low-distortion signal generator and a 16-bit, 192 kS/s arbitrary waveform generator for stimulus-response testing.
USB-powered Portable Instrument
Compact USB operation makes it practical for lab benches, field diagnosis, education and custom automated measurement systems.
