About:
PicoScope is the proprietary software companion for Pico Technology's USB oscilloscopes, providing deep analysis and visualization of electronic signals. It enables real-time waveform capture, advanced triggering, and automated measurements for detailed circuit diagnostics. The software integrates with PicoScope hardware to deliver PC-based test and measurement capabilities traditionally found in benchtop equipment.
Key Features:
  • Real-time waveform visualization and analysis
  • Advanced digital triggering and waveform math
  • Over 40 automated measurements with statistics
  • Protocol decoding for I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, and more
  • Function generator and arbitrary waveform generator control
Use Cases:
  • Electronics circuit design and debugging
  • Automotive diagnostics and sensor analysis
  • Educational demonstrations of signal behavior
  • Power electronics and energy monitoring
Alternatives:
  • Sigrok/PulseView – Open-source alternative with broader hardware support but less integrated hardware optimization
  • Oscilloscope (Native) – Traditional benchtop oscilloscopes offer standalone operation but lack PC-based analysis and data export features
