The Pico ADC-212 and ADC-216 virtual instruments represent a quantum improvement in digital storage oscilloscope technology. While most digital scopes offer only 8 bit resolution (0.4%), these new virtual instruments offer impressive resolutions of 16 bits (250 and 15 parts per million).
When used as a spectrum analyzer, the ADC-212 has a useable dynamic range of over 80 dB, whilst the ADC-216 offers over 90 dB.
With an ADC-212 or 216 and the supplied PicoScope software, your PC becomes a high precision test instrument (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer and multimeter). Additionally, when used with the supplied PicoLog software, your PC becomes an advanced data logger and chart recorder. For users wishing to develop their own software, there are software drivers for DOS, Windows 3.1, 95/98 and NT and examples for Labview, Excel Visual Basic, Delphi and C.
With its 32k buffer, the ADC-212/216 can collect large quantities of accurate data at high speed. The large memory means that oversampling can be used to reduce the effects of alaising.
Three models of the ADC-212 exist with sampling rates of 20 Mhz, 50 Mhz and 100 Mhz. (Models ADC-212, ADC-212/50 and ADC-212/100)
