2. Wait for your computer to install the oscilloscope. While doing so it will display a message or
icon in the task bar telling you it has found the device.
3. Run the PicoScope software.
4. If you wish to use a 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 nished the basic installation, the PicoScope 6 User’s Guide will provide further
information about setting up and using your oscilloscope.
