Pico Interface Socket	3-3

PicoSoft

PicoSoft is an optional PC program that creates, stores, and manages

Pico circuit diagrams. It transfers the circuit diagrams from the PC to

Pico or vice versa using a special PC interface cable.

ATTENTION

The PC interface cable is catalog number

1760-CBL-PM02 and is available as an accessory item. Only use the Pico interface cable. Do not attempt to make your own cable as this can cause damage to the unit or present a shock hazard.

The PicoSoft software also includes extensive on-line Help.

To use the on-line Help, start PicoSoft and choose Contents in the Help menu. Context sensitive help is also available. Choose a menu item with the mouse and press F1 while keeping the mouse button pressed.

Software Compatibility

If you are using programming software to program the Pico controller, be sure that you are using the correct software version.

IMPORTANT

PicoSoft version 6.1 or higher must be used to for the Series B Pico controller. Earlier versions of PicoSoft can only be used with Series A Pico controllers.
