2 Introduction
2.1 Safety symbols
Warning Triangle
This symbol indicates that a safety hazard exists on the indicated
connections if correct precautions are not taken. Read all safety
documentation associated with the product before using it.
2.2 Safety warning
We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below before
using your oscilloscope for the first time. Safety protection built in to equipment may
cease to function if the equipment is used incorrectly. This could cause damage to
your computer, or lead to injury to yourself and others.
Maximum input range
The PicoScope 5000 A and B Series Oscilloscopes are designed to measure voltages in
the range -20 V to +20 V. Attempting to measure voltages outside this range (other
than using a differential or isolating probe specifically designed for this purpose) may
expose the user to a risk of electric shock.
The analog inputs of the PicoScope 5000 A and B Series Oscilloscopes are protected
to ±100 V. Contact with voltages outside the protection range may cause permanent
damage to the unit.
Mains (line) voltages
PicoScope 5000 A and B Series oscilloscopes are not designed for use with mains
(line) voltages. To measure mains (or line) voltage, use a differential isolating probe
specifically designed for that purpose.
Safety grounding
PicoScope 5000 A and B Series Oscilloscopes connect directly to the ground of a
computer through the USB cable provided to minimize interference.
Avoid connecting the ground input to any potential other than ground. The outer
shells of the BNC connectors are all at the same potential (shorted together). If in
doubt, use a meter to check that there is no significant AC or DC voltage between the
ground input of the oscilloscope (and also, if your oscilloscope is connected to a
laptop, mains ground) and the point to which you intend to connect it, as this may
cause a large current to flow. Failure to check may cause damage to your computer
and connected equipment, or lead to injury to yourself and others.
Do not rely on the product to provide a protective safety earth.
Repairs
The oscilloscope contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair or calibration of the
oscilloscope requires specialized test equipment and must be performed by
PicoTechnology.

4 Installation
Important:
Do not connect your PicoScope 5000 Series Oscilloscope to the PC
until you have installed the software.
Please note the various power supply options below. Consult the appropriate section
relating to the intended use of the oscilloscope and the instructions in the Installation
Guide and the leaflet included with your product package.
Powering 2-channel scopes
Connect your 5000 Series 2-channel oscilloscope to two free, powered USB ports on
the PC or USB hub using the double-headed USB cable supplied (see image 2 below).
Powering 4-channel scopes
When using 1 or 2 channels of the 4-channel 5000 Series oscilloscopes, you have two
options for power.
1. If your computer or USB hub does not have two free, powered USB ports, connect
your 5000 Series oscilloscope to the PC or hub using the single-headed USB cable
supplied. Plug the power adapter into the mains and connect the DC cable to the
DC power socket on the rear of the oscilloscope (see image 1 below).
2. If your computer or USB hub has two free, powered USB ports, connect your 5000
Series oscilloscope to two ports on the PC or hub using the double-headed USB
cable supplied (see image 2 below).
When using 3 or 4 channels on the 4-channel 5000 Series oscilloscopes connect your
oscilloscope to the PC or hub using the single-headed USB cable supplied. Plug the
power adapter into the mains and connect the DC cable to the DC power socket on
the rear of the oscilloscope (see image 1 below).
Note: If you connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the oscilloscope is in
operation it will restart automatically and any unsaved data will be lost.
Checking the installation
Once you have installed the software and connected the oscilloscope to the PC, start
the PicoScope software. The software should now display any signal connected to the
scope inputs. If you have a probe connected to your oscilloscope, you should see a
small 50or 60 hertz signal in the oscilloscope window when you touch the probe tip
with your finger.

5 Product information
Standard oscilloscope connectors
The PicoScope 5000 Series Flexible Resolution Oscilloscopes have input channels with
standard BNC connectors and standard input impedance. They are therefore
compatible with most oscilloscope probes including x10 and switched x1/x10 types.
The probes supplied with the PicoScope 5000 A and B Series oscilloscopes have been
trimmed specifically for use with the scopes they are supplied with. For optimum
performance, please use the probes supplied. Although other oscilloscope probes can
be used, the specified performance cannot be guaranteed. Replacement probes
matched to your PicoScope 5000 can be ordered from Pico Technology.
Signal generator (Gen) output
The Gen connector is the output of the oscilloscope's built-in signal generator, which
can generate a number of built-in waveforms as well as user-defined arbitrary
waveforms (B Models only).
If you are using the PicoScope 6 program, refer to the PicoScope 6 User's Guide for
information on how to configure the signal generator.
If you are writing your own software, refer to the PicoScope 5000 Series (A API)
Programmer's Guide.
External trigger (Ext) input
The Ext input can be used as a trigger source. It is selected using the trigger drop-
down menu in the PicoScope software, or using a function call if you are writing your
own software.
The Ext input uses dedicated circuitry with a software-configurable threshold to detect
a trigger signal. This has the advantage of freeing the analog channels for viewing
signals. The Ext input has the same characteristics as a scope channel so that a
supplied probe can be trimmed on one of the channels and then used with the Ext
input to give best vertical accuracy. If trigger timing accuracy is critical, we
recommend using one of the main input channels as the trigger source. These
channels use digital triggering (accurate to one sample period) and have a vertical
resolution of 1 LSB.

5.3 Moving to another USB port
The procedure for moving your PicoScope Oscilloscope to another USB port depends
on your operating system.
Windows XP
When you first installed the PicoScope 5000 Series Oscilloscope by plugging it into a
USB port, Windows associated the Pico driver with that port. If you later move the
oscilloscope to a different USB port, Windows will display the "New Hardware Found
Wizard" again. When this occurs, just click "Next" in the wizard to repeat the
installation. If Windows gives a warning about Windows Logo Testing, click "Continue
Anyway". As all the software you need is already installed on your computer, there is
no need to insert the Pico Software CD again.
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8
The process is automatic. When you move the device from one port to another,
Windows displays an "Installing device driver software" message and then a
"PicoScope 5000 Series PC Oscilloscope" message. The Oscilloscope is then ready for
use.
5.4 Compensating probes
We recommend that you compensate each oscilloscope probe before using it with your
PicoScope. Compensation instructions specific to the probe are included in the leaflet
supplied with the probe.
Connecting a probe for compensation
1. Plug the probe's BNC connector into the appropriate input channel on the scope.
2. Fit the spring hook (supplied with the probe) on the probe tip.
3. Attach the spring hook to the probe compensation output located on the front
panel.
4. Attach the ground lead (supplied) to the probe and connect the crocodile clip to the
ground shell of one of the scope's BNC inputs.
5. Run the PicoScope software. Set the input coupling to AC and then click Auto
Setup, which ensures that the correct range and timebase are selected.
6. Follow the compensation (or 'trimming') instructions in the probe leaflet.
Note: if the probe is moved to a different scope channel, the compensation procedure
must be repeated.

6 Glossary
API. Application Programming Interface. A set of function calls that give
programmers access to the PicoScope 5000 A/B Series driver.
Bandwidth. The range of input frequencies over which the measured signal amplitude
is no more than 3 decibels below its true value.
Buffer size. The size of the oscilloscope buffer memory, measured in samples. In
block mode, the buffer memory is used by the oscilloscope to store data temporarily.
This allows the oscilloscope to sample data independently of the speed at which it can
transfer data to the computer.
Device Manager. Device Manager is a Windows program that displays the current
hardware configuration of your computer. For Windows XP: Right-click on 'My
Computer,' choose 'Properties', then click the 'Hardware' tab and the 'Device Manager'
button. For Windows Vista, and Windows 7: From the Start Menu right-click on
'Computer', choose 'Properties', then click 'Device Manager' in the left panel. For
Windows 8, right-click in the bottom left corner of the screen and select 'Device
Manager' from the menu.
Driver. A program that controls a piece of hardware. The driver for the PicoScope
5000 A and B Series Oscilloscopes is supplied in the form of a 32-bit Windows DLL,
ps5000a.dll. This is used by the PicoScope software, and by user-designed
applications, to control the oscilloscopes.
External trigger. This is the BNC connector marked Ext on the PicoScope 5000 A and
B Series oscilloscopes. It can be used as a trigger source but not as a waveform input.
Flexible Resolution Oscilloscope. The instrument formed by connecting a
PicoScope 5000 A and B Series Oscilloscope to a computer running the PicoScope
software application.
Maximum sampling rate. A figure indicating the maximum number of samples the
oscilloscope can acquire per second. Maximum sample rates are usually given in MS/s
(megasamples per second) or GS/s (gigasamples per second.) The higher the
sampling rate of the oscilloscope, the more accurate the representation of the high-
frequency details in a fast signal.
MS/s. Megasamples per second. Used to quantify the sampling rate of an
oscilloscope.
PicoScope software. This is a software product that accompanies all our
oscilloscopes. It turns your PC into an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, and meter
display.
Signal generator. A built-in circuit that generates signals suitable for driving an
external device under test. Its output is on the BNC connector marked Gen on the
oscilloscope. If you connect a BNC cable between this and one of the channel inputs,
you can send a signal into the channel.
Timebase. A timer that controls the speed at which the scope device captures data.
At slow timebases this process is visible as PicoScope draws the trace across the scope
view from left to right, but at fast timebases PicoScope draws the whole trace in a
single operation. The timebase is measured in units of time (such as seconds) per
division. There are ten divisions across the scope view, so the total time across the
width of the view is ten times the "per division" setting.
USB 1.1. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard port that enables you to connect
external devices to PCs. A typical USB 1.1 port supports a data transfer rate of 12
Mbps (12 megabits per second), much faster than an RS232 port.
USB 2.0. A typical USB 2.0 port supports a data transfer rate that is 40 times faster
than USB 1.1. USB 2.0 is backwards-compatible with USB 1.1.
Vertical resolution. A value, in bits, indicating the precision with which the
oscilloscope converts input voltages to digital values. The resolution enhancement
function in PicoScope can improve the effective vertical resolution.

Glossary14
Copyright © 2013 Pico Technology Limited. All rights reserved.ps5000ab.en r1
Voltage range.The range of input voltages that the oscilloscope can measure. For
example, a voltage range of ±20 V means that the oscilloscope can measure voltages
between —20 V and +20 V. Input voltages outside this range will not be measured
correctly, but will not damage the instrument as long as they remain within the
protection limits stated in the specifications.
