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!
pi@raspberrypi:/ $ sudo apt-get install picoscope

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
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.
