PicoScope software is your complete test and measurement lab in one easy-to-use application. PicoScope software allows you to view real-time signals, zoom in on your signal, and save and print captured waveforms. The user-friendly controls and familiar Windows graphical interface ensures that using PicoScope is both fast and easy to use.

PicoScope includes various features designed to reduce the time you need to set up and use your oscilloscope: along with over 30 automated measurements PicoScope also features an autosetup function. The autosetup function can be used to automatically set up the timebase, channels and trigger configuration to display any signals that PicoScope finds on the oscilloscope’s inputs. You can also customise PicoScope by adding your own “test menus”. These menus can load reference waveforms or instrument settings, and they can display documents that give an explanation of the waveform, or details on how to perform the required tests.

PicoScope software is regularly updated with feature extensions and improvements. These can be downloaded for free from our website and ensure that your oscilloscope will always have the latest features and enhancements — all without costing you another penny.

Software Development Kit and Linux Drivers

linux and sdk

Your PicoScope 5000 oscilloscope comes complete with a software development kit (SDK). The SDK contains a range of software drivers and example code that you can use to write your own software or to use your PicoScope Oscilloscope with third party software.

We also provide Linux oscilloscope drivers so that you can use your PicoScope 5000 Series oscilloscope with the Linux operating system.
