Using multiple devices in PoScope4
Sometimes there is a need to measure more than 2 analog signals. PoScope4 supports multiple
devices and multiple instances of same type of device. Each device gets its own control GUI.
When you have more than one Mega1+ (or any other supported devices) you can set up PoScope4 to
load multiple instances of Mega1+ by clicking Settings button in main menu.
In window which appears, click on the Device instances tab and select how many instances of each
device would like to have.
Select appropriate number and restart PoScope4. New buttons will be added to the devices toolbar
in the bottom. Each instance of control GUI will detect when device is attached to computer and
connect to it.

Synchronization issue
It is possible to connect two or more devices to PoScope4 but you cannot use them on the same
display while devices don’t have common sync clock used for sampling. Each device has its own clock
and doesn’t offer external clock synchronization feature therefore data cannot be properly
synchronized between different devices. Those devices can still be used on separate displays.
