Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: What software is included with the PicoScopes?

Answer: All PicoScopes (except sampling scopes, SXRTO and automotive models) work with the same software. This is available via free download from the manufacturer's website.

  • The major part is the PicoScope-Software for Windows, a PC oscilloscope software as well as complete test and measurement lab. The software includes standard features such as oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, advanced triggers, automatic measurements, interactive zoom, persistence modes, math channels, mask tests, serial bus decoding and analysis, and signal generator control.
  • In addition, beta versions of the PicoScope software are available for Linux and macOS.
  • The PicoScope Software Development Kit (SDK) is the "toolbox" for developers to write their own software for the oscilloscopes. The SDK includes drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux (including beta versions for Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone). Sample code explains how to interface with third-party software packages such as Microsoft Excel, National Instruments LabVIEW, and MathWorks MATLAB, and programming languages such as C, C++, C#, or Visual Basic .NET..

Question: What operating systems does the PicoScope software support?

Answer: PicoScope6 software runs fully on Microsoft Windows (recommended versions 7, 8, and 10 - as of April/2021). PicoScope for Linux and macOS are beta versions or may not support the full functionality of the devices. PicoScope for Linux runs under Debian 7.0, Ubuntu 12.xx and 13.xx and other Debian-based distributions with the Mono Runtime 2.10.81 (drivers are available for PicoScopes 2000 to 6000). PicoScope for macOS supports the versions 10.9 and 10.10. If in doubt, talk to our support team!

Question: I want to buy an oscilloscope - what bandwidth should I choose?

Answer: The bandwidth (BW) provides information about the frequency range of the oscilloscope. Mostly the upper cut-off frequency in Hertz or max. frequency of an applied signal is quoted, at which the signal amplitude is represented with a fixed attenuation 3 dB/gain -3 dB. The bandwidth thus determines which signals (with respect to their frequency) can be measured and displayed with the oscilloscope within a certain accuracy. For example, an ideal 100 MHz square wave signal consists of a 100 MHz sine wave and an infinite number of odd harmonics. Therefore, a much higher bandwidth is needed for measurement. When selecting an instrument, the frequency (F) of the signal to be measured serves as a criterion. A simple rule of thumb: For a digital signal, use a bandwidth that is at least 5x higher than your fundamental frequency to be measured. For an analog signal, use a bandwidth that is at least 4x to 5x higher than your fundamental frequency to be measured.
