PicoScope 6402B programming in matlab

Post by florix »

Hello,

I would like to program a PicoScope 6402B.

To open the PicoScope I tried the following matlabcode.

Code: Select all

loadlibrary( 'PS6000.dll' , 'ps6000Api') ;
calllib('PS6000' , 'ps6000OpenUnit', 0 , '[NULL]' ) ;
But the PicoScope not open.

There are code examples for the 6000 Serie?

Thanks in advance

Hello Florix.

Try the following:

Code: Select all

loadlibrary('PS6000.dll' , 'ps6000Api.h');

handle = 0;
serial = [];

[status.open, handle] = calllib('PS6000' , 'ps6000OpenUnit', handle , serial);
Instrument Drivers are planned for the PicoScope 6000 series but in the meantime, you can refer to the MathWorks guidance on how to call shared library functions to write your own code:

http://www.mathworks.co.uk/help/matlab/ ... tlab-.html

Please also refer to the guidance in this forum on writing MATLAB scripts.

Also, call libfunctionsview('PS6000') after loading the dll to view the input and output data types for a function call.

Don't forget to call the unloadlibrary function when you have finished :wink:
