1English

1.1Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Pico Technology USB Oscilloscope.

This guide explains how to install the software, including the product manual, from the CD-ROM supplied.

Once you have finished the installation, you will find that the product manual contains much more information about setting up and using the product and its software. The manual is installed in electronic format, but you can also print a paper copy from the PDF file on the CD-ROM.

1.2Safety warnings

We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below and also the product-specific safety warning in the product manual before using your product for the first time. If you do not use the equipment in the manner specified, then you may impair the protection provided. This could result in damage to your computer or injury to yourself or others.

The product manual is installed on your computer when you install the supplied software.

Maximum input range

You can find the maximum input range and, where applicable, overload protection range in the product manual installed on your computer. Always operate the product within the specified input range. Operation outside the range of the overload protection is likely to cause permanent damage to the unit. Incorrect configuration or use on voltages outside the maximum input range can be hazardous.

Mains voltages

Pico products are not designed for use with mains voltages. To measure mains, we recommend the use of a differential isolating probe such as the Pico Technology MI053, which is specifically designed for high-voltage measurements.

Repairs

The unit contains no user-serviceable parts. Repair or calibration of the unit requires specialised test equipment and must be performed by Pico Technology or its authorised distributors.
