5444B - Error: Unit not supported

Post by KJagielski »

Hello,

i try to run a new PicoScope 5444B on Windows 7 64bit with MATLAB 2014b 64bit.
All 64bit dll and *.m are on MATLAB path.
When connecting the Scope with

Code: Select all

run('MATLAB\ps5000a\PS5000aConfig.m');
pico = icdevice('picotech_ps5000a_generic','TEST/001');
connect(pico);
I get the following output:
Copyright (C) Pico Technology Ltd. 2013 - 2014

PicoScope 5000 Series MATLAB Instrument Driver

Error using icdevice/connect (line 112)
An error occurred while executing the driver connect code.
Unit not supported
If this error is not an instrument error, use MIDEDIT to inspect the driver.
I have tried MATLAB 32bit to exclude a problem with the 64bit driver with the same error.

Can you help me on this problem?

Regards

Hitesh

Hi,

The error is likely to have occurred due to an incorrect serial number being specified in the following line:

Code: Select all

pico = icdevice('picotech_ps5000a_generic','TEST/001');
Try:

Code: Select all

pico = icdevice('picotech_ps5000a_generic','');
or

Code: Select all

pico = icdevice('picotech_ps5000a_generic','CT607/118');
I hope this helps.

Regards,
