Installing the PicoScope software for Windows

1a. (Recommended: install from web) Go to www.picotech.com, click Downloads, select the
PicoScope 2000 Series and your oscilloscope model, then select the latest PicoScope
software. Download and double-click the installer to run it.
1b. (Alternative: install from CD if supplied) Insert the Pico software disk into your CD drive.
Windows 7 will run the disk automatically. Later versions of Windows will ask you what to do
with the CD: select "Run Pico.exe".
2. In the PicoScope installer, select the language that you wish to use.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the PicoScope software.
4. Connect the oscilloscope to your PC using the USB cable supplied, as shown in the connection

5. Wait for Windows to install the oscilloscope. While doing so it will display either an "Installing
PicoScope 2000 Series PC oscilloscope" message or a "new device" icon in the taskbar.
6. Run PicoScope 6 by clicking the new PicoScope icon on your Windows desktop.
7. If your oscilloscope requires an external probe, connect one to channel A. Touching the metal
tip of the probe should cause a small 50 or 60 hertz signal to appear in the PicoScope window.
Once you have finished the basic installation, refer to the PicoScope 6 User's Guide and PicoScope
2000 Series Data Sheet for further information about setting up and using your oscilloscope.
