PicoScope 9400A Series Overview:

The PicoScope 9404A-25 SXRTO (Sampler-Extended Real-Time Oscilloscope) extends the bandwidth of the PicoScope 9400 Series with a 25 GHz model. It combines the benefits of real-time and equivalent-time sampling to create a truly incredible oscilloscope capable of capturing signals up to 25 GHz.

Packed with features
The PicoScope 9404A-25's random sampling is ideal for measuring high speed interfaces with repetitive signals or clock streams. It can record high-speed signals such as gigabit digital systems on up to four channels at once. The PicoScope 9404A Series is invaluable for the design, testing, servicing and manufacturing of telecoms equipment. With these applications in mind, the free PicoSample 4 software is packed with useful measurements and features. Draw eye diagrams with ease and analyze them with one of over 175 built-in masks (or create your own). Plot trends in your data such as pulse width or period over time.

Control of the PicoScope 9404A-25 can also be automated, including a remote control option via over USB or LAN using ActiveX control.

Fast setup for fast signals
The PicoScope 9404A-25 has a 25 GHz front-end, an effective sampling rate up to 5 TS/s and a maximum time resolution of 10 ps/div. The external prescaled trigger is able to work up to 20 GHz, direct trigger to 2.5 GHz and clock recovery is also available for up to an impressive 11.3 Gb/s. A direct trigger means there's no need for an external clock or trigger source - simply connect the scope to the circuit you want to measure.

Unlike many real-time oscilloscopes, the PicoScope 9404A-25 maintains its 12-bit resolution throughout its bandwidth, no matter how many channels are enabled.
