Author: Pico Technology

Question 1

Installation fails or stalls?

Accepted Answer

Close PicoScope and any SDK applications, disconnect the scope, run the latest PicoScope installer as administrator, and reboot when prompted. If Windows blocks the driver, allow the Pico Technology USB driver in Device Manager.

Question 2

Device not detected?

Accepted Answer

Use a shielded USB 2.0 cable connected directly to a rear PC port, not a hub. Power-cycle the PicoScope 2000 and check Device Manager for a Pico Technology entry. If missing or error-marked, reinstall the PicoScope software/driver.

Question 3

Version conflicts or SDK mismatch?

Accepted Answer

Uninstall older PicoScope and PicoSDK versions, reboot, then install one matching current PicoScope release and SDK. Do not mix 32-bit SDK components with a 64-bit application; use the vendor’s latest 2000 Series driver package.
