Hi
I'm trying to use a pico 4000 in streaming mode with the labview example program available in the SDK. Unfortunately it doesn't work. I don't succeed in reading the buffer. I checked the example vi with the SDK manual and the it seems to agree with the procedure described in the manual. Can somebody help me in fixing the problem? I'm using labview

thanks in advance
Marco

Hi Marco

Can you tell me what version of LabView you are using?

It works fine in Version 8.5 but we are looking into an issue we found with version 10.0

Hi Chris
thanks for your answer
I'm using lv 2009 (32bit). It's installed on windows 7 64 bit with WOW 64. Unfortunately lv 2009 is the only 32 bit version of labview that can be installed on windows7 64 bit, so I cannot downgrade to LV 8.x.


Kind regards

Marco

Hi Marco

This version should work for you. I have tested it in LabVIEW 2010 and saved it for version 9.

The problem was that the memory addresses of the arrays returned by PicoScope4000StartStreaming.vi changed when the VI returned. This didn't happen in version 8. Moving the terminals outside of the error case structure resolves this problem. However, it causes the addresses to be changed in version 8, meaning that this modification breaks the VI in older versions of LabVIEW!

We will look in to this further, but in the meantime at least this will get you up and running.

Hi Robin
Your new example works!
Thanks a lot
