Pico Technology is a British manufacturer of high-precision PC-based oscilloscopes and automotive diagnostics equipment, founded in 1991.[3][4][5][6][7] Their product range includes the PicoScope line of PC-based oscilloscopes, data loggers, automotive equipment, and most recently, handheld USB-based oscilloscopes.[3][4][8][9][10][11] Since their inception in 1991, Pico Tech has been researching and developing PC-based oscilloscopes, when the market standard was analogue storage oscilloscopes.[11] Pico Technology is one of two European scope manufacturers, and competes in the low to middle end of the instrumentation market.[12]
Pico Technology won The Queen's Award for Enterprise in 2014 (International Trade), and was named a "Key player" in the Global Electronic Test & Measurement Instruments Market by Global Industry Analysts.[13][14][15] Their equipment is considered "a modern alternative to traditional and costly bench-top test and measurement equipment", and that they "cost a fraction of traditional automotive oscilloscopes and engine analyzers".[16][17]
The PicoScope 5000 variable resolution USB-based oscilloscope was voted as the Test & Measurement Product of the Year at Elektra Awards 2013, presented by Electronics Weekly at Lancaster, London.[18][19][20] The series also won the DesignVision 2014 award for Test and Measurement Equipment, presented by UBM Tech Electronics at the DesignCon 2014 trade show.[21]
The Pico Automotive Diagnostic Kit was chosen as the Top 20 Tools of 2003 by Motor magazine,[17] the Top Product of 2005 by Commercial Vehicles Workshop magazine, the Top Product of 2002 and Top Product of 2003 by Professional Motor Mechanic magazine, and their FirstLook Sensor won an Innovation Award by Professional Tool & Equipment News in 2004.[22][23][24]
