Re: Getting started using the API with Linux

Hi rcox, It looks like you don't have ps2000.h header in the path. By default it is installed in /opt/picoscope/include/libps2000-2.1. (Assuming, you use the latest package?) The example in /opt/picoscope/share/doc/libps2000 uses autotools to configure that, have a look to get the idea. Otherwise yo...

Re: Thread safety - PicoScope 6402 series

Hi Andrej,

There can be only one unit open in per process. To open multiple devices you would need one process per device - but then they would work seamlessly (assuming there is enough bandwidth on usb bus).

Regards,
Mario

Re: Beta Release of PicoScope for Linux

Hi Dylan, Well spotted, close, but issue is different. When release was made for SuSe and other rpm based flavors a regression has been introduced to postinstall script. Certain versions of 'usermod' don't have '-a' option, but all support '-G GROUP1,GROUP2' syntax. To be safe I've ported those chan...

Re: Beta Release of PicoScope for Linux

Hi, The only thing that comes to mind is that you may have some inconsistencies in sources.list file. Just to be sure I have recreated indexes on repository. Please remove any entries regarding picoscope from /etc/apt/sources.list (or any other file you put that information to) and use command from ...

Re: Beta Release of Picoscope for Linux - RPM packages

That's maybe unusual that your installation of Fedora has debconf installed (need to confirm whether it isn't standard). In the postinstall script I've made this assumption that if system has debconf -> therefore it uses dpkg -> deb packages provide configure scripts which rpm has not. The workaroun...

Re: PicoScope.GTK ERROR

Hi Isidre, It appear you may have a broken mono installation. Unless you have tried this already, lets start by reinstalling it: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mono-runtime libmono-system-core4.0-cil libmono-system-management4.0-cil libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil libmono-windowsbase4.0-cil li...

@JackElliott

Missing AWG/Siggen menu (or rather not appearing sometimes/or some controls not working in it ) for 3000 series, is unfortunate but known issue to be resolved.

Re: Beta Release of Picoscope for Linux

Hey Oscar, After hmaarrfk post I realized what problem we are dealing here with. You are plugging in USB2.0 device into USB3.0 port. In this case kernel will still use xhci_hcd to control this. I have just tested this setup and ran into same difficulties. There is known issue with libusbx libusb_cle...

Re: Beta Release of Picoscope for Linux

Tim, Yes, I can confirm bug for sig gen menu not appearing for 3206. Oscar, This is strange, as xhci is USB3.0 controller, while PS5244B is USB2.0 device. The message for xhci seems unrelated. You can always try to unload xhci_hcd: sudo rmmod xhci_hcd In /opt/picoscope/share/doc/libps5000a/ example ...
