Pico Technology

Pico Technology is a British manufacturer of PC-based electronic test and measurement equipment, headquartered in St Neots, Cambridgeshire. The company designs oscilloscopes, data loggers, RF test instruments and automotive diagnostic tools in which the measurement hardware is paired with software running on the user's own computer, an approach that departs from conventional self-contained bench instruments. It has operated for more than three decades and serves customers in over 50 countries through a global distribution network.

Its PicoScope range of PC-based oscilloscopes combines deep memory, high resolution and mixed-signal capability, with bandwidths reaching up to 33 GHz. Other product lines include PicoLog data acquisition and logging systems; RF instruments comprising vector network analysers, pulse generators and agile synthesisers; and PicoScope Automotive, award-winning diagnostic equipment and lab scopes used for fault detection. The company also offers custom OEM integration alongside its standard catalogue.

Engineering work spans software-defined instrumentation, high-resolution and deep-memory measurement, vector network analysis, pulse generation and agile frequency synthesis. An Oscilloscope Software Development Kit supports oscilloscope software development across Windows, macOS and Linux. The company provides free software upgrades and comprehensive technical support, and maintains a user community forum with more than 20,000 members. Its instruments are used in automotive diagnostics, aerospace, telecommunications, general electronics and engineering R&D.
