1 Welcome
The PicoScope 2200 Oscilloscopes are compact units
designed to replace traditional bench-top oscilloscopes costing
many times the price.

Here are some of the benefits provided by the PicoScope 2200 series:

Portability: Take the unit with you and plug it in to any Windows PC.
Performance: Fast sampling from 100 MS/s to 1 GS/s, probe-tip bandwidths from
10 MHz to 200 MHz and fast USB 2.0 interface. See Model Selector 5 for details of
each scope model.
Mixed signal capability: Display analog and digital signals on the same timebase
with the PicoScope 2205 MSO.
Flexibility: Use it as an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, or high-speed data
acquisition interface.
Programmability: The PicoScope 2000 Series APIs let you write your own
programs, in your chosen programming language, to control all the features of the
scope.
Long-term support: Software upgrades are available to download from our
website. You can also call our specialists for technical support. You can continue
to use both of these services free of charge for the lifetime of the product.

2 Introduction

2 Introduction
2.1 Using this guide
In this guide you will see symbols like this: 2 This is the cross-reference symbol,
and it indicates the number of a page on which you can find more information about a
topic.

2.2 Safety symbols

The following symbols appear on the top of the PicoScope 2200 Series oscilloscopes:

Symbol 1: Warning triangle

This symbol indicates that a safety hazard exists on the indicated

connections if correct precautions are not taken. Read all safety
documentation associated with the product before using it.

Symbol 2: Equipotential

This symbol indicates that the outer shells of the indicated BNC
connectors are connected together. You must therefore take
necessary precautions to avoid applying a voltage across the shells
of the indicated BNC connectors. Such a voltage could cause a large
current to flow, resulting in damage to the oscilloscope and other
connected equipment.

2.3 Safety warning

We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below before
using your oscilloscope for the first time. Safety protection built in to equipment may
cease to function if the equipment is used incorrectly. This could cause damage to
your computer, or lead to injury to yourself and others.

Maximum input range. The PicoScope 2200 Series oscilloscopes are designed to
measure voltages in the range -20 V to +20 V. The Ch A and Ch B inputs are
protected to ±100 V and the D0-15 inputs (if present) to ±50 V. Contact with voltages
outside the protection range may cause permanent damage to the unit.

Mains voltages. These products are not designed for use with mains (line) voltages.
To measure mains, use a differential isolating probe specifically designed for mains
voltages.

Safety grounding. The PicoScope 2200 Series oscilloscopes connect directly to the
ground of a computer through the USB cable provided to minimise interference.

As with most oscilloscopes, avoid connecting the ground input to any potential other
than ground. If in doubt, use a meter to check that there is no significant AC or DC
voltage between the ground input of the oscilloscope and the point to which you
intend to connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to your computer or injury to
yourself and others.

The product does not have a protective safety ground.

Repairs. The oscilloscope contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair or calibration of

the oscilloscope requires specialised test equipment and must be performed by Pico
Technology.

8 Product information

3.5 Installation instructions

IMPORTANT
Do not connect your oscilloscope to the PC before you have installed the Pico
software.
If you do, Windows might not recognise the scope device correctly.

Procedure
Follow the instructions in the Installation Guide included with your product
package.
Connect your PC Oscilloscope to the PC using the USB cable supplied.

Checking the installation

Once you have installed the software and connected the PC Oscilloscope to the PC,
start the PicoScope 14 software. PicoScope should now display any signal connected to
the scope inputs. If a probe is connected to your oscilloscope, you should see a small
50 or 60 hertz noise signal in the oscilloscope window when you touch the probe tip
with your finger.

Moving your PicoScope PC Oscilloscope to another USB port

Windows XP SP2
When you first installed the oscilloscope by plugging it into a USB 14 port, Windows
associated the Pico driver with that port. If you later move the oscilloscope to a
different USB port, Windows will display the "New Hardware Found Wizard" again.
When this occurs, just click "Next" in the wizard to repeat the installation. If Windows
gives a warning about Windows Logo Testing, click "Continue Anyway". As all the
software you need is already installed on your computer, there is no need to insert the
Pico Software CD again.

Windows Vista and Windows 7

The process is automatic. When you move the device from one port to another,
Windows displays an "Installing device driver software" message and then a
"PicoScope 2000 series PC Oscilloscope" message. The PC Oscilloscope is then ready
for use.

3.6.4 Signal inputs

The PicoScope 2200 Series oscilloscopes have BNC oscilloscope connectors. The
inputs have an impedance of 1 M , so they are compatible with all standard scope
probes including x10 attenuated types.

3.6.5 Compensating probes

We recommend that you compensate each oscilloscope probe before using it with your
PicoScope. Compensation instructions specific to the probe are included in the leaflet
supplied with the probe.

Connecting a probe for compensation

1. Connect your probe to the signal generator
output as shown on the right.

2. Run the PicoScope software.

3. Click the AWG button and set the AWG to

generate a 1 kHz 1 volt square wave.

4. Follow the compensation (or 'trimming')

instructions in the probe leaflet.

12 Product information

3.6.6 AWG connector

The AWG connector (labelled GEN or Signal Out on some oscilloscopes) on the front
panel carries the output of the oscilloscope's built-in signal generator, which can
generate a number of built-in waveforms, as well as arbitrary waveforms from a user-
defined table of data.

Instructions for use

If you are using the PicoScope 6 program, refer to the PicoScope 6 User's Guide for
information on how to configure the signal generator.
If you are writing your own software, refer to the relevant Programmer's Guide 1 .

AWG output specifications

Refer to the PicoScope 2000 Series datasheet or the PicoScope 2205 MSO
datasheet, both available on our website.

3.6.7 EXT connector

The EXT (External) trigger input on some models can be used as a trigger source. The
trigger source is selected using the trigger drop-down menu in the PicoScope
software, or using a function call if you are writing your own software.

The EXT input uses dedicated circuitry with a software-configurable threshold to

detect a trigger signal. This has the advantage of freeing both analog channels for
viewing signals. However, if trigger timing accuracy and resolution are critical, we
recommend using the channel A or B input as the trigger source. These channels use
digital triggering, which is accurate to one sample period and has a vertical resolution
of 1 LSB.

3.6.8 USB port

Connect the oscilloscope's USB port to your PC's USB 2.0 port using the USB cable
supplied. The oscilloscope will work if connected to a USB 1.1 port but will operate at
greatly reduced speed.

PicoScope 2200 Series User's Guide 13

4 Glossary
Analog bandwidth—The frequency at which the measured signal amplitude is
3 decibels below the true signal amplitude.

Block mode—A fast data collection mode. The PicoScope software puts the
oscilloscope into this mode to achieve the fastest possible sampling rates. The
oscilloscope collects data as fast as possible and then stops to transfer the data to the
PC. During data transfer to the PC in block mode, the oscilloscope cannot sample data
from its inputs.

Buffer size—The size of the oscilloscope's buffer memory, measured in samples. The
buffer allows the oscilloscope to sample data faster than it can transfer it to the
computer.

Coupling mode—To switch from AC coupling to DC coupling, or vice versa, select AC

or DC from the control on the PicoScope toolbar. The AC setting filters out very low-
frequency components of the input signal, including DC, and is suitable for viewing
small AC signals superimposed on a DC or slowly changing offset. In this mode you
can measure the peak-to-peak amplitude of an AC signal but not its absolute value.
Use the DC setting for measuring the absolute value of a signal.

Device Manager—Device Manager is a Windows program that displays the current

hardware configuration of your computer. On Windows XP or Vista, right-click on 'My
Computer,' choose 'Properties', then click the 'Hardware' tab and the 'Device Manager'
button.

Driver—A program that controls a piece of hardware. The driver for the PicoScope
2000 Series PC Oscilloscopes is supplied in the form of 32-bit Windows DLLs,
ps2000.dll and ps2000a.dll. These are used by the PicoScope software to
control the oscilloscope.

ETS—Equivalent Time Sampling. Constructs a picture of a repetitive signal by

accumulating information over many similar wave cycles. This allows the oscilloscope
to create a composite cycle that has more samples, and therefore better time
resolution, than a single cycle. ETS cannot be used for one-shot signals.

Maximum sampling rate—A figure indicating the maximum number of samples the
oscilloscope can acquire per second. The higher the sampling rate of the oscilloscope,
the more accurate the representation of the high-frequency details in a fast signal.

MS/s—Millions of samples per second. Used to quantify the sampling rate of an

oscilloscope.

MSO (Mixed signal oscilloscope). An oscilloscope that has both analog and digital
inputs.

Oversampling—A technique for reducing noise in sampled signals. Measurements

are taken more frequently than the requested sample rate, and then merged to
produce the required number of samples. If, as is usually the case, the signal
contains a small amount of noise, this technique can increase the effective vertical
resolution 14 of the oscilloscope.

PC Oscilloscope—A virtual instrument formed by connecting a PicoScope oscilloscope

to a computer running the PicoScope software.

PicoLog software—An application that can be used with selected Pico Technology PC
oscilloscopes to turn your PC into a powerful data logger.

14 Glossary

PicoScope software—A software program that accompanies all Pico PC

Oscilloscopes. It turns your PC into an oscilloscope, spectrum analyser, and meter
display.

Signal generator—Generates a waveform and outputs it on the BNC socket marked

AWG, GEN or Signal Out. This output can be used to drive a test signal through a
BNC cable into an external circuit or into one of the oscilloscope's input channels. The
PicoScope software allows the generator to output standard waveforms, such as sine
and square waves, or arbitrary waveforms defined by the user.

Streaming mode—A data collection mode in which the oscilloscope samples data and
returns it to the computer in a continuous stream. This mode allows the capture of
more data than will fit in the oscilloscope's memory buffer, at sampling rates over 1
MS/s (PC dependent). The PicoScope program selects this mode for long timebases to
enable the capture of very long sets of data.

Timebase—A timer that controls the speed at which the scope device captures data.
At slow timebases this process is visible as PicoScope draws the trace across the scope
view from left to right, but at fast timebases PicoScope draws the whole trace in a
single operation. The timebase is measured in units of time (such as seconds) per
division. There are ten divisions across the scope view, so the total time across the
width of the view is ten times the "per division" setting.

USB 1.1—Universal Serial Bus (Full Speed). This is a standard port used to connect
external devices to PCs. A typical USB 1.1 port supports a data transfer rate of 12
megabits per second, so is much faster than an RS232 or 'COM' port.

USB 2.0—Universal Serial Bus (High Speed). This is a standard port used to connect
external devices to PCs. A typical USB 2.0 port supports a data transfer rate 40 times
faster than USB 1.1 when used with a USB 2.0 device, but can also be used with USB
1.1 devices.

Vertical resolution—A value, in bits, indicating the precision with which the
oscilloscope converts input voltages to digital values. Oversampling (see above) can
improve the effective vertical resolution.

Voltage range—The range of input voltages that the oscilloscope can measure. For
example, a voltage range of ±100 mV means that the oscilloscope can measure
voltages between -100 mV and +100 mV. Input voltages outside this range will not be
measured correctly, but will not damage the instrument as long as they remain within
the protection limits stated in the specifications.
