The PicoScope® 3000E Series defines the next generation of PC-based oscilloscopes—blending benchtop-grade performance with unmatched portability. These USB-powered scopes offer up to 500 MHz analog bandwidth, 5 GS/s sampling rate, and an extraordinary 2 GS capture memory, making them ideal for high-speed embedded design, signal integrity analysis, and serial bus decoding.

Each unit includes 4 analog channels, with MSO models adding 16 digital channels for complete mixed-signal analysis. Whether you're working in a lab or out in the field, the ultra-compact design and USB 3.0 power make the 3000E Series an engineer's ideal portable lab.

Included with every model is the powerful PicoScope 7 software, offering 40+ serial decoders, DeepMeasure™, advanced math channels, mask testing, FFT spectrum analysis, and more—all at no extra cost. Combined with a built-in 14-bit AWG and wide-bandwidth signal generator, this scope delivers a full-featured test and measurement suite in one compact device.
