Low distortion, low noise
The PicoScope 4262 includes an integrated low-distortion signal generator (sine, square, triangle, DC level). As well as basic controls to set level, offset and frequency, more advanced controls allow you to sweep over a range of frequencies. Combined with the spectrum peak hold option, this makes the PicoScope 4262 a powerful tool for testing amplifier and filter responses.
And it`s a high–performance spectrum analyzer too...
The precision and performance you need
The PicoScope 4262 is a full-featured oscilloscope that can also be used as a high–performance spectrum anazlyer, signal generator and arbitrary waveform generator. With two channels, 16-bit resolution, 10 MS/s sampling, 16 MS buffer memory and 5 MHz bandwidth the PicoScope 4262 gives you the precision and performance you need at a price you can afford.
