Section titled “[Optional] PicoScope ® 6424E”

To use the Python oscilloscope control of a PicoScope ® 6424E one needs to install the corresponding libraries. If you do not plan to use this the only downside of not having these libraries is that some unit-tests will fail. Follow the official guide https://www.picotech.com/downloads/linux.

All one should need to install the package from PyPI is:
