Opening PicoScope by serial

Hi, Not as much of a question as it is a remark: Can you please make your API backwards compatible OR make breaking changes extremely clear? I've been working on picoscope support for about a decade, and in that time, I've had to fix how we pass the serial number to the API several times, because yo...

Re: Pico Scope 6824E C# RunBlock method max nº of samples

Limits are covered in the datasheet https://www.picotech.com/download/manua ... -sheet.pdf
6*24E: 4GS (2 GS at 10/12-bit)
6*04E: 2GS
6203E: 1GS

And yes, the memory is shared between active channels.

Re: Missing PicoScope 6000E Programmer's Guide

Never mind that, I'm still stuck. But at least now I have a specific baseline to base my question on. It's still about this function: PREF0 PREF1 PICO_STATUS PREF2 PREF3(ps6000aGetScalingValues) ( int16_t handle, PICO_SCALING_FACTORS_VALUES *scalingValues, int16_t nChannels ); This is no included in...

Re: Missing PicoScope 6000E Programmer's Guide

Thanks, that's helpful. I'm using Java, but I'll probably be able to distill the info I need from the examples.

Re: Missing PicoScope 6000E Programmer's Guide

Is there any guidance you can provide on specific functions? My customers are expecting a functioning device driver. Provided that the entire 6000 series has been marked end-of-life, they are not happy buying an old model. I'm currently getting stuck on the following functions (64 bit mode): PREF0 P...

List of PIDs for different devices

Hi, I'm writing a driver for the PS6000E, and I'm looking for a list of PIDs for all 6000E's. The one I have shows PID_1215, but there are a bunch more in the driver inf that are marked as "PicoScope 6000 series PC". The problem is that the old PS6000 series uses a different API, so I need to differ...

Re: ps6000a SDK Documentation

I'm looking for the same thing.

And by the way, you say that there is no 6000A SDK, but the dll is called ps6000a.dll, so it seems that the SDK is actually called 6000A, even thought it supports only the 6000E series.

Missing PicoScope 6000E Programmer's Guide

Hi!

I'm trying to write a support driver for the Pico6000E series (PS6000A API, because it's only a few letters away, right?). However, I can't find the programmers guide anywhere. Can somebody help me?

Re: ps3000a series with 11 digit S/N won't open

Thanks you for your reply. Indeed sending the S/N without the "/" does the job. Might be a nice thing to document in the developer manual :wink:
Or have the scope/driver return the serial without the "/" in the first place 8)

ps3000a series with 11 digit S/N won't open

Hi, Recently, the scopes we use (Pico3206D) have started rolling over from 10 into 11 digit serial numbers (AA000/1234). It seems that this is causing issues with the driver, as sending an 11 digit S/N with ps3000aOpenUnit() fails (i.e. returns PICO_NOT_FOUND). I already made sure that the string is...

Re: Addressing a specific PicoScope 5xxx without opening

Correct me if I'm wrong, but calling getUnitInfo() requires me to have opened the unit. What I'm asking is how to know which unit will be opened if I have multiple PicoScopes attached and I call openUnit().

Addressing a specific PicoScope 5xxx without opening

Hi! I'm currently working on writing a wrapper for the PicoScope 5xxx native driver, but I can't seem to find a way to target a specific PicoScope for the openUnit() call. As far as I can tell openUnit() picks the scope that's connected to the lowest USB port/hub number, which means that connecting ...
