Pico Technology 6426E Digital Oscilloscope

Overview

The Pico Technology 6426E is a high-bandwidth 4-channel PC-based oscilloscope with 1 GHz bandwidth, representing the top performance in the 4-channel PicoScope 6000E series. It features 5 GS/s sampling rate, 4 GS capture memory, and 350 ps rise time at 50 ohms, enabling capture of fast transients with minimal distortion. FlexRes technology allows flexible vertical resolution from 8 to 12 bits for measurement optimization.

Designed for engineers working on cutting-edge high-speed designs—including advanced embedded systems, RF signal analysis, and high-frequency power electronics—the 6426E delivers laboratory-grade performance in a USB-connected instrument. Comprehensive software includes 21 serial protocol decoders, advanced triggering, FFT analysis, and segmented memory capture.
