SDK DLL's

Hi, I recently re-downloaded the SDK's for the 2000.DLL and the 3000a.DLL. I compared them with the versions in our source control and noticed that my old DLL's were PS2000 - 2.0.8.64 PS3000a - 1.0.0.162 and the new versions are PS2000 - 2.0.8.131 PS3000a - 1.0.0.302 Is there a changelog for these D...

Re: Picoscope 3000 Series Problem with USB Connection

Doesn't the picoscope driver support ACPI and USB power states?

Re: PS3000a resolving error state

Hi Martyn, The picoscope is directly connected to one of the USB ports on the computer. It is a very new desktop computer with oodles of RAM and CPU. It also happens whether I choose one of the USB 3.0 or one of the 2.0 ports on the host (it has both). Other than mouse and keyboard, the device has o...

PS3000a resolving error state

Hi, my program streams data for a long time from one channel and continually analyzes it. sometimes, my ps3000a returns error code 07 from the call to ps3000aGetStreamingLatestValues. The manual lists this as PICO_NOT_RESPONDING. Typically when it enters this state, further attempts to read the data...

picoscope safe eject

I was wondering if its possible to have the picoscope hard-reset itself when the user "safe" ejects it from their computer. I would like to somehow trigger a hard reset of the picoscope.

specifically a 3204a.

Thanks

2203 vs. 3204a ADC scaling

Hi, in the PDF for the 2203 it says oscope values are scaled from Constant Reading Voltage PS2000_LOST_DATA -32 768 Indicates a buffer overrun in fast streaming mode. PS2000_MIN_VALUE -32 767 Negative full scale 0 0 Zero volts PS2000_MAX_VALUE 32 767 Positive full scale and for the 3204a Function Vo...

Re: 64 bit PicoScope API

+1 vote for 64-bit.
Right now we have to use a second 32-bit application which communicates with our 64-bit application via a socket. A 64-bit driver would save us a lot of hassle and time.

Re: loss of precision during histograming

Hi, With regards to your initial question, is this histogram a frequency versus amplitutde plot? If so have you tried using our spectrum view to replicate this? If not could you explain further what this view is doing? Kind regards This is a plot of pulse-height frequency. The input signal is rando...

loss of precision during histograming

Hello, I've recently written my own code to histogram my data as it comes back from fast_streaming. I have a problem that I can only seem to get 6 bits of precision. If I try to bin with 128 bins my histogram has precision artifacts as seen in the picture attached. When I use 64 bins, I get a proper...

ps2203 potential bug

With the latest SDK and a 2203, ps2000_get_unit_info is broken and the code just dies when stepping through this call. App immediately crashes. If I don't call get_unit_info the rest of the code runs fine and I can fast stream and read samples and everything is peachy. Calling as follows #include "p...

full cpu utilization

Hello, I have an application that uses c++ to interface with the picoscope API. I find that whenever in fast_streaming mode (running a 2203, latest drivers and headers from the SDK) one CPU core is always pegged at 100% (i have a dual core). My code calls ps2000_get_streaming_last_values(m_handle, p...
