Caveats
Per-model split of the 2000 Series record: values are for the 2204A only. Specification values are from the vendor web page specification table and were cross-checked by the Auditor against the PicoScope 2000 Series data sheet (MM071.en-11, issue 11); vendor-stated values, not measured. Logic level n/a (scope). Availability: page showed "Looking for stock" at retrieval; not verified. Reviews on the page are customer testimonials and are not used.

PicoScope 2204A: 10 MHz bandwidth (-3 dB), 100 MS/s maximum real-time sampling, 8 kS block-mode buffer, 8-bit vertical resolution, 2 analog channels. Evidence: Documented
Source: src-picoscope-2000-page
The 2204A has input ranges of +/-50 mV to +/-20 V, 1 Mohm input, +/-100 V overvoltage protection, and no analog offset. Evidence: Documented
Source: src-picoscope-2000-page
Rapid-trigger mode and runt-pulse triggers are not available on the 2204A and 2205A; the 2204A function generator has no pseudorandom/noise output and ~100 kHz maximum output frequency. Evidence: Documented
Source: src-picoscope-2000-page
The 2204A is USB-powered (USB 2.0) and is supported by PicoScope 7 on Windows 11/10, macOS 15/14 and Ubuntu; Raspberry Pi 4B/5 support is PicoLog 6 only (32-bit Raspberry Pi OS). Evidence: Inferred
