Faster sampling
The PicoScope 4000 Series can capture signals four times faster than any other PicoScope automotive scope – this makes it compatible with the new FlexRay standard and ensures your PicoScope oscilloscope will continue to be useful for a long time to come.

More memory
As well as capturing faster signals, the PicoScope 4000 Series also outperforms other scopes thanks to the 32 MB of ‘always on’ memory. With 64 times the memory of the previous generation of scopes, the PicoScope 4000 Series ensures that you can effortlessly capture every detail of the signal. Never again will you miss those hard-to-find intermittent faults.

Higher input range
The high ±100 V input range of the PicoScope 4000 Series eliminates the need for external attenuators for most vehicle tests.

Sorry – we couldn’t make it any easier to use
Thanks to the familiar graphical user interface, help files and reference library, using your PicoScope 4000 Series diagnostic oscilloscope is as easy as ever. If you’re an existing PicoScope user you can just connect your scope and benefit immediately from the power and performance of your new PicoScope 4000 Series. If you’ve never used a PicoScope oscilloscope before you can get started without needing to spend hours reading manuals.

The labscope for the new generation of vehicles
The fast sampling speeds, large memory and bandwidth of the PicoScope 4000 Series means that not only is it suitable for use on all current vehicles, but it will continue to be of use in diagnosing faults with the complex electrical and electronic systems that will be found on new and future generations of vehicles.
