I have tried to run PicoLogger and own software at same time, but it fails. the reason i guess is becuase both of them will be opening the unit before they can actually get the value from the unit. So if either of them opened, the other one can not open the unit again, and thus the error occurs.

so can anyone plz advise how to run PicoLogger and my own software at same time? If either of them opens, can i get readings without opening another one?

or if this is not available, in other words, PicoLogger and my own software can not exists at same time, so is there any way to get data live from the PicoLogger, and then i can read these data into my own software at same time?

Any help would be appreciate

Hello,

As I replied to your message by email I shall answer the post for other forum users.

The product can be opened by one application at a time. You will not be able to run your own software alongside PicoLog. YOu can use DDE to link to PicoLog and your own application. I provided an example via email.

For best results, I would recommend either your own application or PicoLog.

Best regards,
Michael

Hi Micheal,

I am also trying to do something like ysha4171, do you mind to send me an example of DDE that can link Pico Logger and my own application?

Thanks Micheal!
