run the Pico CD. Alternatively, the software can also be downloaded from
www.picotech.com/software.
2. Select the appropriate language.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the PicoScope software.
4. If your oscilloscope is mains powered, connect the power cord to the
power adaptor, and plug it into a mains power socket. Then connect the
DC power cord to the back of the oscilloscope, and switch on the mains power.
5. Connect the oscilloscope to your PC using the USB cable supplied. See the USB
setup section (1.5) and the connection diagram below for more information.
Windows may automatically display a New Hardware Found notification.
