Caveats
Version and release details are as shown on Pico downloads pages on 2026-10-18 and change with releases. Operating-system version requirements were not captured. Earlier draft claims about version 7.1.50, Windows 11/openSUSE detail and a video-derived signal-generator reading were removed because they were stale or could not be verified from a primary document; the video-only values remain unrecorded. No safety guidance; follow Pico's instructions.
