Picoscope- yay or nay?

<< < (14/18) > >>

Hi gyro.. I be happy to be a little bit more specific

see this picture..  did I mention the real scope to the left, can do all the pico can, all by it self
another very important point, the scope to the left is still worth something in 10-20 years.
while the one to the right is only worth the 4 cool reuseable bnc connectors in 10-20 years.

Gyro:
I'd call https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/please-dont-purchase-pc-controlled-test-equipment/ pretty non-specific.

No it cannot do the same thing. That IS THE POINT.

And as I said, Picsocope supported my old 212-100 with 3 consecutive software versions (4-5-6) on brand new PC of the time. So you could use 15 year old scope with new software and new PC at the time.
And in meantime, in 15 years it gained so much new functionality. For instance, it decodes 32+ protocols... And new are being added all the time..

If anything it gained value with years....

>It's about ADDING a USB scope to the toolkit for portability/datalogging etc.

for the 10k time.. i dont get it..
a real scope cost the same or less
a real scope can also provide realtime datalogging and remote access
a pico scope is not that partable, since you need a pc and all the stuff that is needed to run a pc,
so that total solution is bigger, more bulky and much more expensive, over a real stand alone scope, that will just log using its internal memory or a usb stick

Serious question- are you literate?

coromonadalix:

i have to combine 2 or 3 separate tools to do the same  loll

but the younger people(s) i know use it very frequently

but man they are expensives ...

It's a YAY  loll
