The Pico website offers a User's Guide and a Programmer's Guide as well.

Scopebox review manuals#

I like printed manuals but you get more recent copies anyway if you download PDFs from the website. No printed manual, but that's usually the case these days and saves paper.

- two probes with accessory bags and storage pouch.

- an info poster explaining the UI of the software.

- a quick start guide (very short but in 6 languages).

The packaging, a simple brown cardboard box was easy to open and neatly organized. The price for the 2205A is about the same as for the Rigol 1052A, a very popular 50 MHz bench scope or an Owon SDS5032E (30MHz), both chinese brands. Pico uses the same Picoscope software for all their scopes up to the quite impressive 60 series.

Another notable feature is the serial decoding included in the software. It costs around 240 Euros and offers 2 channels, 25 MHz bandwith and a built-in function generator. Looking at the specs and line of products, the 2205A is one of the smallest scopes Pico Tech makes. If you find any, please tell me and i will correct them. This is the first time i review a piece of test equipment and I hope there are not too many errors/omissions in this review. - missing physical interfaces (like trigger output or clock synchronization).- UI not as intuitive because it's different from regular scope layout and has no dedicated controls (knobs).- programming API for the software, maybe even an API for writing serial decoders?.- good integration with other software on the computer.- good performance/responsiveness of the UI (if the PC is powerful enough).- easy to store, transport and even use outside or at events.Some advantages I expected for USB oscilloscopes in general But mainly, just because I like turning knobs -) This is the first time, I'm using a USB scope, though and i was always a bit skeptical about them. Currently, my main work scope is a rather nice and modern mixed-signal one. I started many years ago with a small single-channel analog scope. So far, I have only used bench scopes before. They're by far the tool I like the most in electronics.

I really, really, _really_ like oscilloscopes.

- Is this useful for talks and workshops in a hackespace?.

I will mainly look at the Picoscope from a hobbyist and hackerspace perspective, building small microcontroller projects and reverse engineering things that you want to modify or tinker with. I build and tinker with electronics for both fun and work and I'm also active in the Attraktor hackerspace in Hamburg (Germany), where we have regular meetings about electronics, give talks and organize events around that topic. This is my review of the Picoscope 2205A, a USB oscilloscope with 25 MHz bandwidth, 2 channels and a built-in function generator. What were the biggest problems encountered?: nullĭetailed Review: Mixed feelings about a non-mixed oscilloscope. What other parts do you consider comparable to this product?: Benche scopes from Rigol or Owon. Did you receive all parts the manufacturer stated would be included in the package?: True
