There are no current plans for that.

Picoscope software be written for the Apple Mac

I wish to repeat the question posed by Jeff then:

If not, this is somewhat sad as you exclude many potential users.

Just to carry on what Tom has said, You can use a Mac if it is running a Windows operating system. However you cannot use MAC OS X.

Kind regards

Does picoscope work under Parallels Desktop for Mac?

Hi,
We don't test it or support Parallels for Mac but it may work. Why not try the PicoScope6 program on it's own first in Demo mode?

I've tried it with my PicoScope3206 and it works even with the free VirtualBox. I've written a tutorial how to install Windows XP and the scope drivers and software, which can be tricky for non-Windows Mac users :D

Any news on supporting MACs yet?

I'd turn on my PC but I know I haven't got 3 days to spare to install all the updates...
I mean I did that last week...

Come on support the Mac, you know you want too :wink:
