6000 Series¶

From: Pico Technology

Class: herosdevices.hardware.picotechnology.Picoscope6000a

Driver Quality Index: beta

Requires the following packages

picosdk

Driver class for the Picoscope 6000 series.

Note

You need the official picoscope sdk installed. Note that it is not on PyPi and you need to follow the instructions here

Arguments

Bold arguments are mandatory. For more information on the listed arguments refer to the class documentation: herosdevices.hardware.picotechnology.Picoscope6000a If parameters appear in this list but not in the class definition, please recursively check the linked base classes for the definition of the parameter.

Argument	Type	Default Value	Description
serial_num	<class ‘str’>		Serial number of the picoscope. You can get that from the PicoScope GUI, it looks something like this: JP402/0012
config_dict	<class ‘dict’>		Configuration dictionary, see EXAMPLE_CONFIG
default_config	str \| None	None
keep_device_open	<class ‘bool’>	True	Keep the device open after it is first opened
payload_metadata	dict \| None	None
