Lock-in amplifiers are used to detect and measure very small AC signals, all the way down to a few nanovolts. Accurate measurements may be made even when the small signal is obscured by noise sources many thousands of times larger. Lock-in amplifiers use a technique known as phase-sensitive detection to single out the component of the signal at a specific...

The revolutionary architecture of the PicoScope 5000 Series oscilloscopes allows them to operate at a range of resolutions from 8 bits, like most standard digital oscilloscopes, all the way up to a very high-resolution 16 bit mode. Unlike software-enhanced resolution modes, these are true hardware resolutions achieved by combining multiple high-resolution ADCs to create minimal distortion and noise while maximizing bandwidth. The...
