This document introduces the experiment equipment and education kits provided by www.picotech.com, including experiments on speed of sound, Faraday's Law, AC dynamo, etc. It emphasizes the world-class quality and affordable price of these equipment, suitable for teaching experiments in secondary schools, colleges, and universities.
The PicoScope Education Kit provides affordable PC‑oscilloscope equipment for secondary schools, colleges and universities. It includes hardware for three core experiments – Speed of sound, Faraday’s Law and an AC dynamo – and guidance for four additional experiments such as measuring a capacitor value and determining acceleration due to gravity.
The kit contains a PicoScope 2205 sampling oscilloscope, experiment apparatus, cables, a USB connection and software. Technical specifications cover a 25 MHz bandwidth, 2‑channel BNC inputs, 200 MS/s sampling rate, 8‑bit ADC (up to 12 bits with enhancement), and a range of software features including X/Y rulers, automatic measurements, a spectrum analyser and a built‑in signal generator.
