Hello,

Please check the location of your dll files. The header file from the example may point to a different locale, causing the program to halt.

Best regards,
Michael

in the example there is

opened = adc200_open_unit(port)

and it returns 0 so fail open LPT1

The function are declared in this way
Declare Function adc200_open_unit Lib "ADC20032.dll" (ByVal port As Integer) As Integer

and the adc20032.dll is in the same path of the sample is it correct for the adc 212? I see under c:\program files\pico\ also adc1032.dll adc1132.dll adc1632.dll adc10032.dll are you sure that adc20032.dll in enough?

Hello,

The ADC20032.dll file covers the ADC200 and 212 scopes. THe ADC1x32.dll files are product specific.

You will need to distribute the adc20032.dll file with your programm if you are using the ADC2xx family.

Best regards,
Michael

OK but WHY in a directory where is the dll and the vb project ONLY it doesn't works, and in the directory of the picoscope IT WORKS? maybe my software needs some other else ie particular key of the windows registry or some ini file or what?

thank you

Hello,

Sorry,

You will need to install the adc200.sys file.

Best regards,
Michael
