Using PicoScope for the first time
We have designed PicoScope to be as easy as possible to use, even for newcomers to
oscilloscopes. Once you have followed the introductory steps listed below, we hope
that you will soon become a PicoScope expert.
1. Install the software. Load the CD-ROM that is included with your scope
device, then click the "Install Software" link and follow the on-screen
instructions.
2. Plug in your scope device. Windows will recognise it and make the
necessary changes to allow your computer to work with it. Wait until
Windows tells you that the device is ready to use.
3. Click the new PicoScope icon on your Windows desktop.
4. PicoScope will detect your scope device and configure itself, ready to
display a waveform. The green Start button will be highlighted to show
that PicoScope is ready.
5. Connect a signal to one of the scope device's input channels and see
your first waveform!
