PicoScope calibration

All PicoScopes are tested to ensure they meet their specifications. This means that you can be confident that all measurements you make with your Pico product will be within the accuracy that we specify.

If you plan to use your product in an industrial or scientific environment where it is necessary to have documented traceability, or you just want your Pico product to be ‘fine-tuned’ to give the best possible performance, then for most of our products we can provide you with a calibration service referenced to National Standards. This means that you will be given documented proof of the accuracy of your Pico product at the time it is despatched to you. This documented proof is in the form of a calibration certificate that has the errors recorded. For example, the product may have a published accuracy of ±3%, and after calibration the error might be recorded as –1%. You can then allow for this –1% error when taking measurements.

For best accuracy, we suggest that a calibrated product is recalibrated yearly.
