Page 5: Introduction
USB 1.1 . There is no need for an external power supply as power is supplied from the USB port, making these oscilloscopes highly portable. The PicoScope 4000 Series Automotive Oscilloscopes are supplied with the PicoScope software , which turns your PC into a powerful... -

PicoScope 4423 A. Ch A. Input channel A. Similarly for channels B, C and D. LED. Lights up when the PicoScope 4000 Series Automotive Oscilloscope is first powered up, switches off when the PicoScope software begins to run, and then lights up again when the oscilloscope is sampling data. -
Page 7: Safety Symbols
To measure mains, use a differential isolating probe specifically designed for mains use. Safety grounding PicoScope 4000 Series Automotive Oscilloscopes connect direct to the ground of a computer through the interconnecting cable provided. This method minimises interference. As with most oscilloscopes, avoid connecting the ground input to any source other than ground. -

Page 12: Advanced Features
PicoScope 4000 Series Automotive Oscilloscope User's Manual Advanced features Sampling modes PicoScope 4000 Series Automotive Oscilloscopes run in various sampling modes. At high sampling rates, the oscilloscope collects data much faster than a PC can read it. To compensate for this, the oscilloscope stores a block of data in an internal memory buffer, delaying transfer to the PC until the required number of data points have been sampled. -
Page 13: Glossary
With AC coupling, any DC component of the signal is filtered out, leaving only the variations in the signal (the AC component). Aliasing. Like all digital scopes, the PicoScope 4000 Series cannot reliably capture signals with a frequency higher than half the scope's maximum sampling rate. For example, with a 80 MS/s sampling rate, the frequency limit is 40 MHz. - Page 14 PicoScope 4000 Series Automotive Oscilloscope User's Manual USB 1.1. USB is the abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. This is a standard port that enables you to connect external devices to PCs. A typical USB 1.1 port supports a data transfer rate of 12 Mbps (12 megabits per second), and is much faster than a serial port.
