Hi Albin,

Pico can show you more detail than you probably have seen before on secondary.  These forums are full of examples.  Here is just one thread:

While I have not used the Ferret DIS adapter, I hear it works just fine.  I usually capture DIS by hooking up to companion cylinders and observing the waste and power simultaneously.  Like this:

You have seen the 212/3 in action but knowing you, I think you would be happier with the 212/50 in the Powermaster kit.  These are getting more popular for the power users.  The dual 50mhz converters (one for each channel) and the 128,000 point buffer on each channel means resources are not shared between channels.  It can sample simultaneously on both channels, at incredible speed, without dividing sample rate between channels.

To compare the sample performance you can use the new on-line sample rate calculator:

The 212/3 is a single 3mhz converter and a 32,000 point buffer.  Both are shared between the two channels.  The captures in the referenced threads were made with the 212/3.  As you can see, it does a fine job.   The 50 just enables you to capture more time while maintaining detail.
