I have just used my oscilloscope in a PC with Windows Vista and it is working good. When I put the same cable into my new laptop with Windows 8 I cannot start any measurement. I have dowloaded the program from the disk I got with the hardware about three years ago. Then I have dowloaded the Windows 8 program but I do not know how to get it installed. When I try to do the same but in a PC with Windows 7 I have the same problem. The indikation is “No hardware respons.” Can anyone help me?
Hi,
It sounds like you did not install the drivers.
It would be best to download both the software and drivers from the following location.

Before you install the drivers you will need to disable the digital signatures.
Do the following.
- Windows Key + R
- Enter shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
- Click the “OK” button
- System will restart to a “Choose an option” screen
- Select “Troubleshoot” from “Choose an option” screen
- Select “Advanced options” from “Troubleshoot” screen
- Select “Windows Startup Settings” from “Advanced options” screen
- Click “Restart” button
- System will restart to “Advanced Boot Options” screen
- Select “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement”
- Once the system starts, install the drivers
I hope this helps.
Thanks for helping me. I have some small translation problems but I think I have done your procedure and I have downloaded the “Software” and could run it to the end. I have also downloaded “Driver for Windows 8” but I cannot “Run” it. Its name is "pcsdriver-Win8. Perhaps I should unzip it first, but I don´t know how.
Can you please explain point 8 Click “Restart” button?

You can use either the driver: “Drivers for Windows Vista and Windows 7. (Can also be used for Windows XP)”
or “Driver for Microsoft Windows 8 Works with 32 and 64 - bits versions.”

In both cases you should extract the package before install.
