*Can be powered from either a single USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port, provided the port supplies the required power. The
PicoScope software will notify you if the port is not suitable.
For instructions on connecting your oscilloscope, see Installation.
CAUTION
Take care to avoid mechanical stress or tight bend radii for all connected leads, including all coaxial
leads and connectors. Mishandling will cause deformation of sidewalls, and will degrade
performance and measurement accuracy.
