Linux support for Picoscope 3200A series

Post by moatazsawi »

I am planning to purchase Picoscope 3204A and install it in Ubuntu 13.10 OS, so we want to the know the kernel of the Ubuntu 11.04 that support the driver for Picoscope 3200A devices to insure if it could work in our OS.

Besides that, as indicated in the driver installation website that the driver do not fully support every function in every product, so what is the list of the functions supported by the linux driver for Picoscope 3204A devices.

Hi moatazsawi,

PS3204A is supported via libps3000a driver. This driver has all the features available via programmable API as the windows driver. It is the PicoScope 6 for Linux that misses features. We are working on getting the same level of functionality between those two versions. Although Ubuntu 11.04 is not within our test range (mainly we focus on Ubuntu 12.04 and above) I don't see any reason why the driver wouldn't work on older version.

Can not write to "-" (broken pipe) "
After copy and paste the next 2 lines of the 4 line s in the terminal, I read (in Dutch):
"E: Kan pakket picoscope niet vinden---->cannot find picoscope."

What is wrong ?
