Re: ps4000aGetValuesBulk Hanging Up

Hi Andrew,

When it locks up, it never returns from the ps4000aGetValuesBulk() function. What could possibly cause this?

Re: ps4000aGetValuesBulk Hanging Up

Hi Andrew, Yes, I am using 32 bit LabView. I did change the "lpReady" data type; it didn't help. I've noticed that it depends on which USB3 cable I use how long it will run. Does the Picoscope recover if there is a communication error? I've also broken into a cable and monitored the +5V with a scope...

ps4000aGetValuesBulk Hanging Up

I am using a Picoscope 4424A and the ps4000a.dll in a LabView vi using rapid block mode. I have written a basic vi that only acquires and then averages data. I set up a data buffer, start the aquisition (ps4000aRunBlock()), wait until the data is ready (ps4000aBlockReady()), then run ps4000aGetValue...

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how much current the 2206B (not MSO) draws?

Thanks!

Re: External Trigger Problem

Hi Hitesh, My apologies once again; I found the problem. While I added EXT (= 4) to the "Trigger Source" enum in my main VI, I did not add it to the "Trigger Source" enum in the Settings VI. Since the "Allow undefined values at run time" checkbox was not checked, the Settings VI changed EXT to Chann...

Re: External Trigger Problem

Hi Hitesh,

Sorry, that was a stupid mistake! Anyway, it now gets past that VI, but I have the original problem. The block diagram is still as shown above, but I am getting Error 5016 when I select EXT (4):

Re: External Trigger Problem

Hi Hitesh, I set up ps4000SetExtTriggerRange per the manual. Function.PNG I put it before SetSimpleTrigger. VI.PNG I get Error. Error.PNG I don't understand why the error says FE Raw Data Record... I did Highlight Execution and confirmed that the error occurred coming out of my new node. Any thought...

External Trigger Problem

Hi, I have written a LabView VI to work with my 4000 series PicoScope. It works fine as long as I set my Trigger Source to Channel A or Channel B. I found in the "pico4262 trigger" post that the channel number for the external trigger is 4, so I added that to the Trigger Source control. Unfortunatel...

Re: PS4000 SDK & LabView doesn't work

Hi Hitesh, I got it working now; for some reason wasn't finding the dlls. Your mentioning of the PATH variable led me to look at it, find the correct path, and manually direct labview to it. That fixed it! Thanks so much! I am still using LabView 32 bit. In the past NI has told me to keep using 32 b...

PS4000 SDK & LabView doesn't work

Hi, I have downloaded and installed the latest version of the 32 bit SDK - PicoSDK_32_10.6.20.22.exe. The directory structure is not at all the same as in the video and the PS4000 and PS4000Wrap dlls are not there. The only dlls in the package are in the Matlab\ps4000\win64 folder and end with _thun...
