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!

"It didn't do what I expected!"
