With the DrDAQ device connected to the PC, have a look in device manager to see if the Pico USB DrDAQ is listed (under Pico Technology Instruments) If it's not, run the installer, DPInst.exe installer, from the winusb folder of the SDK. Choose the exe from the x86 folder for 32 bit operating systems...

Can you replicate this problem using an equivalent sampling rate in PicoScope 6?

What device is it that you want to use?

All our current USB devices will work under 64 bit operating systems, but our old parallel port products won't.

Not got any experience of using this compiler, but if you're having trouble getting it to work by creating an empty project, and importing the files from the SDK, would suggest creating a new 'Hello World' type project, then start by trying to use the ps2000_open_unit & ps2000_close_unit functions, ...

PicoLog uses different functions to implement its recording methods, depending upon the parameters that are set for the device. What you want to achieve could be accomplished using any of the 3 recording methods available. Using the streaming method will give the most accurate time resolution, as it...

You need to set up / select the channel you need before calling ps2000_run_straming_ns. You can't change channels while the device is streaming. See the Fast streaming mode section of the ps2000 programmers guide (ps2000pg.en.pdf) that can be downloaded with the sdk from the software section of the ...

A delay of about 100ms before the ps2000_ready() call should help.

Try running the PS3000 console example in the SDK.
This uses 0 as the value for timebase in runblock, to set the maximum sample rate, has 1 as the oversample value so it doesn't do any oversampling, which reduces the max sample rate.

Hi Fernando

There isn't a 'reset' command to send to the unit, but if you call the 'closeUnit' command, you can then call the 'openUnit' command again to restart the unit.

The firmware is then uploaded to the unit to restart it.

What data rate are you setting?

Are you using both channels?

Hi Lasse The ps5000wrap.c code is provided in the sdk, which might help to show how the functions are implemented. The IsReady function returns the state of the _ready flag, which is set to 1 when the StreamingCallBack function is called to indicate that data is available to be downloaded. It does n...

We do not currently have a C# example for the 6000. The ps5000 has very similar function calls, and has a C# example, so that would be a good place to start looking into how to write your own application, but it will need some modification work to get it to work with the ps6000. We do not use VISA c...

Hi Lasse

We do not currently have any documentation for the psX000wrap.dll's, but the source code is provided in the SDK.

If you have any specific questions, please ask.

At that sort of rate you'd be better using block mode to do your captures, but then there would be a gap between captures, which may take upto 50ms.

If you do need a continuous data stream, then you should limit your capture rate to 1MS/s
