Do you need to measure floating or non-ground referenced signals?

Do you need to measure signals in the presence of 50Hz or 60Hz common-mode noise?

With the PicoScope 3425 differential oscilloscope you can do so without the need for expensive differential preamplifiers or probes.

Most oscilloscopes can only measure signals referenced to ground and have what are known as “single ended inputs”. The PicoScope 3425 has four fully differential inputs that allow you to measure signals that are not referenced to ground.

With a maximum common mode and differential range of 400V, the PicoScope 3425 is capable of measuring both high voltage and low level signals. Typical high voltage applications include capturing waveforms from switch mode power supplies, telephone cables, motor inverters and hybrid vehicles. The high impedance differential inputs also allow measurements on sensitive amplifiers and from bridge type sensors for pressure, load and strain.

Everything you need to take differential measurements

The PicoScope 3425 USB Oscilloscope comes in a tough carry case complete with all the probes, leads, clips and adaptors you need to start taking differential measurements. Just install the user-friendly software, connect the oscilloscope to a USB port on your Windows PC and you’re ready to go. No complicated set up procedures. No effort required.
