This MATLAB® Generic Instrument Driver allows you to acquire data from the PicoScope® 3000 Series High-Performance Oscilloscopes and control signal generator functionality. The data could be processed in MATLAB using functions from Toolboxes such as Signal Processing Toolbox.

Supported models

The driver will work with the following PicoScope models:

* PicoScope 3203D
* PicoScope 3204A/B/D
* PicoScope 3205A/B/D
* PicoScope 3206A/B/D
* PicoScope 3207A/B
* PicoScope 3203D MSO
* PicoScope 3204 MSO/D MSO
* PicoScope 3205 MSO/D MSO
* PicoScope 3206 MSO/D MSO
* PicoScope 3403D
* PicoScope 3404A/B/D
* PicoScope 3405A/B/D
* PicoScope 3406A/B/D
* PicoScope 3403D MSO
* PicoScope 3404D MSO
* PicoScope 3405D MSO
* PicoScope 3406D MSO

Please note that the driver will not work with the PicoScope 3204, 3205, 3206, 3223, 3224, 3423, 3424 and 3425 oscilloscopes - examples for these devices are available from:
