As with the older 2000 series the old 3000 series devices will be supported soon.
I can report that my 3204 seems to be running just fine. I'm really getting too old to get this excited over software!
I just mention one little gotcha in case someone else makes the same silly mistake. I searched for Picoscope in the launch menu editor and moved it from lost and found to the Development category. It refused to run Picoscope. I typed picoscope in a terminal and that was fine.
A closer inspection of the menu entry showed lots of wine stuff from my previous attempts to get picoscope running.
After replacing the command with 'picoscope', all was well. At least I have a nice icon left over from that attempt.
Many thanks for your efforts. I will report back after a more meaningful checkup.
Installed no errors Ubuntu 12.04. Launches, sees my 3206. Works as a 'scope, cannot turn on the AWG - the button depresses but does nothing. Known issue?
Missing AWG/Siggen menu (or rather not appearing sometimes/or some controls not working in it ) for 3000 series, is unfortunate but known issue to be resolved.
The serial decoding user interface has not yet been implemented, although it is possible to load a .psdata/.pssettings file created in the windows version and run with those settings.
i'm very grateful that Pico made this happen. It doubles the value of my oscilloscope.
I'm running OpenSuSE 13.1 here and I could run it sucessfully with the mono version
of the distribution (3.0.6).
I wrote a little install script to download an unpack the .deb packages. Run this in an empty directory:
wget --accept deb --mirror http://labs.picotech.com/debian/
platorm="_i386"
if [ "$(uname -p)" == x86_64 ]; then
platform="_amd64"
fi
echo $platform
list=$(find . -name "*$platform.deb" -or -name "*_all.deb")
for i in $list; do
ar p $i data.tar.gz | tar zx
done
This does not install the software in / but rather extract everything to subfolders.
After this you need to add a group "pico", and add your user to this group. Additionally you can copy the udev rule file:
