# PicoScope 5203 and 5204 Examples

*picosdk-ps5000-matlab-examples* is a set of MATLAB examples demonstrating how to call shared library functions to acquire data from the
PicoScope� 5203 and 5204 Oscilloscopes and control in-built signal generator functionality. The data could be processed in MATLAB using
functions from Toolboxes such as [Signal Processing Toolbox](https://www.mathworks.com/products/signal.html).

The examples are provided as MATLAB scripts and live scripts and demonstrate how to acquire data using the following acquisition modes:

- Block
- Rapid Block
- Streaming

Please note that these examples are not compatible with the PicoScope 5000 Series Flexible Resolution Oscilloscopes - these are supported by the
[PicoScope 5000 Series - MATLAB Generic Instrument Driver](http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/42820-picoscope-5000-series-matlab-generic-instrument-driver).

## Getting started

### Prerequisites

* [MATLAB](https://uk.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html) for Microsoft Windows (32- or 64-bit) or Linux operating systems (64-bit).
* The [PicoScope Support Toolbox](http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/53681-picoscope-support-toolbox)
* The [PicoSDK C Wrapper Binaries](https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-wrappers-binaries)

**Notes:**

* MATLAB 2015b is recommended for 32-bit versions of MATLAB on Microsoft Windows operating systems.

### Installing the examples

We recommend using the [Add-Ons Explorer](https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/get-add-ons.html) in MATLAB in order to install these files and obtain updates.

If your version of MATLAB does not have the Add-Ons Explorer, download the zip file from the [MATLAB Central File Exchange page](https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/59657-picoscope-5203-and-5204-matlab-examples)
and add the root and sub-folders to the MATLAB path.

### Installing drivers

Drivers are available for the following platforms. Refer to the subsections below for further information.

#### Windows

* Download the PicoSDK (32-bit or 64-bit) driver package installer from our [Downloads page](https://www.picotech.com/downloads).

#### Linux

* Follow the instructions from our [Linux Software & Drivers for Oscilloscopes and Data Loggers page](https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux) to install the required `libps5000` driver package. For streaming data collection, the `libpswrappers` driver package will also need to be installed.

### Programmer's Guides

You can download the Programmer's Guide providing a description of the API functions for the ps5000 driver from our [Documentation page](https://www.picotech.com/library/documentation).
