I am programming in VB.net using VS2005 pro. I have a Picoscope 3224.

I have my declare function as follows:
Declare Function ps3000_run_streaming_ns Lib "ps3000.dll" (ByVal handle As Short, ByVal sample_interval As Long, ByVal time_units As Short, ByVal max_samples As Long, ByVal auto_stop As Short, ByVal noOfSamplesPerAggregate As Long, ByVal overview_buffer_size As Long) As Short

However, I get a stack imbalance whenever I call the function, with the suggestion that what I am passing to the unmanaged code is not what the unmanaged code is expecting. it maybe a coincidence, but only functions with the time_units parameter throw this error. The documentation only specifies a type of PS3000_TIME_UNIT?

short ps3000_run_streaming_ns (
short handle,
unsigned long sample_interval,
PS3000_TIME_UNITS time_units,
unsigned long max_samples,
short auto_stop,
unsigned long noOfSamplesPerAggregate,
unsigned long overview_buffer_size )

I have tried a short type but this also fails. Any help?

actually, I have discovered the problem. The unsigned long need to be reference with a uinteger type in VB, and the time_unit is a short.

Now onto the ps3000_get_streaming_last_value() which does not have a define function in the examples... so if you have one for me, that would save me time.

HI and thank you for your post.

Please refer to PS3000044.pdf manual located in your installed folder, this has the necessary information (page 33).

Kind regards
