Multiple picoscope Labview Application

Post by wenfeizhang »

Dear all,

I am trying to use 3 picoscope 5442B with Labview to collect 12 channels of data at the same time. I am using streaming mode. At first, I can run the single-picoscope in my program very well. However, When I copied another call function in the labview, I get all 0 values from the second picoscope, while the first one works fine. It is not a hardware problem. The single-picoscope labview program works fine on each picos separately. Can anyone look into my code and see anything wrong? Thank you very much.

Hi,

What happened is the wrapper can only handle one device so that when try to get values to does not copy it into a local space.

To stream on multiple device first you need to copy and paste the "ps5000aWrap.dll".
I just called mine "ps5000aWrap - Copy.dll" (copy and paste default).

Then you need to replicate all VIs that use the wrapper and have one use "ps5000aWrap.dll" and the other use "ps5000aWrap - Copy.dll". Please make sure the VIs have different names otherwise they will overwrite each other.

I have attached your example with these changes

Thank you so much.

Can you attach a 2013 version rather than a 2014?
