What is PicoScope?

PicoScope is used to view and analyse signals from our range of real time oscilloscopes.

The intuitive UI takes advantage of the environment the users are most comfortable in. Whether that be their touch screen Windows laptop, their ultra high resolution Retina display on their Mac, or their multi-display Linux Desktop. 

 PicoScope enables users to capture data more quickly by providing features such as advanced triggers and mask limit testing. Deep analysis features such as serial decoding, channel maths, and automatic measures enable the job to get done - fast.

You will be joining a team of talented, inspiring people with a passion to collaborate and solve problems. We are empowered to update the codebase, processes and build infrastructure to ensure it is as efficient as possible. We continually learn and maintain our professional knowledge and skills.

The customer is at the forefront of our minds. We consistently add value to both our new and existing products, in turn enabling customers to increase their own productivity.

We strive to ensure the codebase is as strong as it can be for future custodians. The architecture is carefully considered to ensure it can be modified and rebuilt with confidence on all target platforms. We value ease of maintenance, ease of re-use, and ease of validation.
