Installation instructions
Do not connect your PicoScope 3000 Series PC Oscilloscope to the PC
Procedure
Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide included with your product package.
Connect your PC Oscilloscope to the PC using the USB cable supplied.
There is no need for an additional power supply, as the unit obtains its power from the
USB port.
Checking the installation
Once you have installed the software and connected the PC Oscilloscope to the PC, start
the PicoScope or PicoLog software. The software should now display the voltage that you
have connected. If you are using the PicoScope software and have a probe connected to
your oscilloscope, you should see a small 50Hz or 60Hz mains signal in the oscilloscope
window when you touch the probe tip with your finger .
Standard oscilloscope connectors
PicoScope 3000 Series PC Oscilloscopes have standard oscilloscope connectors. The
input impedance is also standard, so the x10 function on scope probes works correctly.
