Hardware Acceleration Engine

Some oscilloscopes struggle when you enable deep memory; the screen update rate slows and controls become unresponsive.  PicoScope deep memory oscilloscopes avoid this limitation with use of a dedicated hardware acceleration engine.  Its massively parallel design effectively creates the waveform image to be displayed on the PC screen inside the oscilloscope and allows the continuous capture and display to the screen of 2.5 billion samples every second.  PicoScope oscilloscopes manage deep memory better than competing oscilloscopes, both PC-based and benchtop.

Hardware acceleration speeds up areas of oscilloscope operation such as allowing waveform update rates in excess of 170,000 waveforms per second and the segmented memory / rapid trigger modes. The hardware acceleration engine ensures that any concerns about the USB connection or PC processor performance being a bottleneck are eliminated.
