Error With Driver?

Post by dgerrard »

My picoscope setup had been working fine but it seems that there is some issue with the driver. When I run this API Function in Matlab I get the following error. I didn't change any code but it quit working (I believe after a Windows update). How can I get this corrected?

[run_block_status, timeIndisposedMs] = invoke(ps3000a_obj, 'ps3000aRunBlock', 0, 0, 4.2950e+09, 1, 0)

run_block_status = 29 (PICO_TOO_MANY_SAMPLES)
timeIndisposedMs = 0

The return code 286 from the OpenUnit call means that you have the device connected to a USB2 port (PICO_USB3_0_DEVICE_NON_USB3_0_PORT), can you try on a USB3 port and see if the device is working correctly.
