Hello Hitesh, Your first sentence sort of answers the question. "When collecting data, the measurements table should show the maximum and minimum values encountered in the last 20 captures." Every 20 measurements, the min and max are updated with the min/max values during that capture set. This is w...

I am running PicoScope 6 version 6.11.12.1692 with a 5444A PicoScope. While monitoring four power supplies to see how much they are fluctuating I see the min and max values varying in both directions. The help states these should retain the lowest minimum and the highest maximum but they behave more...

Hello Hitesh, I am running a 32 bit version of Excel and have both redistributable versions installed. I also have the full VS2010 install including C++. There could be a conflict somewhere but the fact that the ps4000.xls version works correctly leads me to doubt this. I am starting to use the dele...

Hello Martyn and Hitesh, Thanks for the sample code. I got both the C# and VB.Net examples working. I did have to assign the "index" variable in the VB.Net example that is used for the streamwriter output. Neither of these examples use the ps5000aWrap.dll. The Excel example does use ps5000aWrap.dll ...

PicoTech,

The latest SDK for the 5000 series scopes does not include any example for VB.Net, C# or Excel. Can you provide a small code snippet the shows the correct setup for using RunBlock and IsReady?

Thanks for your time,
Scott.

Martyn, Thanks once again for the prompt response. I will give the code you posted a try as well but I found the main part of the issue. In the documentation for the ps4000OpenUnitEx command it is shown as: PICO_STATUS ps4000OpenUnitEx ( short * handle, char * serial ) I was taking this literally th...

Martyn, Thanks for the prompt response. I tried the one you sent in the zip and it still was complaining so I did some more digging. Apparently, from when I was trying to get the VBA example to run, I had copied a version of PS4000.dll into the Windows System directory. Once I removed that copy I no...

Martyn, I have finally got a chance to look into this again. I downloaded the latest version of the software and the version you listed and the ps4000OpenUnitEx still shows no entry point. Can you provide a simple example of this where it is actually working? Preferably using VB.net. I have managed ...

Martyn, I have not seen anything on when the next update will be released that will include the ps4000OpenUnitEx fix. Do you have any information? I need a way to scan for all of the PicoScopes connected and determine their serial numbers. At that point I need to be able to open a given unit. Each w...

Martyn, Thank you for the response. I have been out of town. The information on the Enumerate command fixed the problem. I had a "ByVal" instead of "ByRef" for the count. I am still seeing some slight inconsistencies when I run my code. Sometimes when I set a break point after the enumerate command ...

I have been having multiple issues with the SDK for the ps4000 series. The code I am writing is in VB.Net using VS2010. I have been using the VBA, VB.NetCon, C#Con, and any other examples I can find to fix the issues but since they all use the same small subset of possible functions they are not all...
