Introduction

This guide explains how to install the software and product manual using the
supplied CD-ROM.
The product manual contains detailed information about using the product and its
software. It includes all the information you will need to connect and set up your
product. The manual is installed in electronic format, but if you would prefer a
paper copy, you can print the PDF files on the CD-ROM.

General safety warning

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.
Mains voltages
Pico products are not designed for use with mains voltages. To measure mains we
recommend the use of a differential probe, such as the Pico Technology TA041, that
is specifically designed for such measurements.
Safety grounding
The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of your computer
through the interconnecting cable supplied. This is done in order to minimise
interference. Therefore, always use the supplied cable to attach the product to your
computer.
As with most oscilloscopes and data loggers, take care to avoid connecting the
ground input of the product to anything which may be at some voltage other than
ground. If in doubt, use a voltmeter to check that there is no significant AC or DC
voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to which you intend to
connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to the product or computer and
could cause injury to yourself or others.
