how to get to the GUI
Hi, I just successfully installed picoscope and the driver necessary for the 2207A. I can actually get it to run on the console. But I wasn't sure how to run with the graphic user interface. I tried double clicking the ps2000acon icon and selected the "Execute" button but nothing shows up. I'm noob to linux.
thanks!
thanks!

Re: how to get to the GUI
Hi tmats,
To run the picoscope application, please open a terminal window and type the command picoscope and press Enter.
You might be able to pin the icon to a launcher once it has started (this can be done with Ubuntu).

Hi Hitesh,
I tried that and it said
I remembered that when i installed picoscope, it gave me an error. But it looked like it was telling me to manually go get the drivers.
Am I missing something?
thanks!
I tried that and it said
Code: Select all
pi@raspberrypi:/ $ picoscope
bash: picoscope: command not found

Re: how to get to the GUI
Hi tmats,
We do not currently provide a PicoScope 6 build for Raspberry Pi platforms. This is due to performance issues with the hardware.
This may change in the future depending on how the Raspberry Pi hardware progresses.
I would recommend using a standard Linux PC build e.g. Ubuntu.

I see..
What is the Raspberry Pi driver for then? Is there something else I can use to visualize waveforms while on the RPi?

Re: how to get to the GUI
Hi tmats,
The driver is there to allow Users to write their own application, so you could use a third party library to visualise the data.
Some investigation was carried out here about running PicoScope 6 on one of the earlier Raspberry Pi models but performance issues were found, quite possibly in part due to the dependency on the Mono libraries for the Linux version.
