Well, looks like they are finally here!

Pretty impressive specs.  I really like the fact that it is pwered through the USB port.

When can I get a demo version on extended loan, Tom?

:D :D :D

Hi Harv,

Trust me.  That's not what you have been waiting for.  The direct USB is cool and it's USB powered, but beyond that it has little to offer the 212/50 can't.  You have larger buffers and faster processors available but they have some limitations that make them less suitable for automotive work:

• It has 8 bit resolultion instead of 12 bit.

• The minimum voltage range is 10mv/div

• They are not compatable with the automotive software

They have an ADC for each channel but the buffers are shared.  I don't plan to stock these but can order you one if you like  ;)

I have a brochure I could send to you, if you want to take a look.  The 3204 is less scope than the 212/50 having equal speed and equal buffer, but less resolution and voltage ranges.  Hang in there Harv.....

I was just checking out the pico site and the 3000 scopes it lists a 3 percent accuracy this is less than the 212 models I think.  Check out the pico site for all the info.  The 1M buffer on the 3206 is truely insane.

Hi Sam,

You are correct.  Here is a great page from the Pico site that describes vertical resolution:
