Hi I am running the C console example downloaded from picoscope web site. I have two picoscopes, a 3206A and a 3405a. I am using visual studio and without modifying the code, I am able to connect to 3405 but not able to use 3206. When I run the program while connecting 3206, it shows:
Opening the device...
Handle:0
Unable to open device
Device not found.
Both units work fine when I using using the "Picoscope 6" software so this shows it is not hardware issue.
The same code should work with both the 3206A and 3405A as they use the same driver, please note that it will not work with the older 3206. If you are not seeing a device, or getting handle, make sure that it is not already open in Picoscope.
Hi I tried again with third picoscope, a 3204. It also works without issue with the SDK example but the 3206 still not working. The one that having issue connecting is a 3206A serial number *AT645/285*. Do you think it requires some software update?
Something strange is going on here. So can you open each of the units in turn with Picoscope 6, goto Help-About and post the text from the bottom panel. It will show us firmware and driver versions as well as serial numbers of the devices.
Are you sure the other unit is not a 3425 four channel differential scope ?
The two scope you have listed will not work with the same driver. The 3204 will use the ps3000 driver and the 3206a needs the ps3000a driver. They are completely different driver models.
