a HUGE NAY from me to any stuff, that is ONLY control able from a PC !!
it will become trash sooner than you think, sadly..
picoscopes are very expensive, you can get a real scope, that is ALSO remote accessable,
but can still be used without a PC, the day the PC and opperating systems are out of service / compatibilities or what ever the future brings of cool computer stuff.

For the millionth time- for people like myself, this isn't a decision between a real scope or a USB scope. It's about ADDING a USB scope to the toolkit for portability/datalogging etc.

Hello,
PicoScope 6 is far more stable.
Best regards

PS. For audio work perhaps the PicoScope® 4262 is a good choice

Try using 6 on Mac :-//
And nah, I couldn't see myself paying any real money for a higher end model when the software is the same, because that's the whole issue. Resolution doesn't matter if the program can't run more than 10 minutes without a crash

for the 10k time.. i dont get it..
a real scope cost the same or less
a real scope can also provide realtime datalogging and remote access
a pico scope is not that partable, since you need a pc and all the stuff that is needed to run a pc,
so that total solution is bigger, more bulky and much more expensive, over a real stand alone scope, that will just log using its internal memory or a usb stick

@oz2cpu: Do you really have to keep ramming your personal (and completely non-specific) opinion on USB test gear down peoples' throats? We get that you don't like them, we don't need constant reminders.
