To use the API's, you need to link with the lib file.

There is no alternative to doing this.

The TC-08 will collect data from the enabled channels at intervals set in the call to usb_tc08_run (The interval value passed in the usb_tc08_run call needs to be 2x the required interval. This issue has been reported to the development team) You are using a timer to call the usb_tc08_get_temp funct...

Pico provides a wrapper dll as part of the sdk. ps3000aWrap.dll has functions that can be called in place of some of the ps3000a API functions that can't be called directly from some languages such as VB. The C source code for this wrapper is also included in the SDK, as there is no documentation av...

The new 3000 series scopes are not software compatible with the old versions.

We don't have any Linux drivers for the new 3000 series at this time, but we are now working on Linux development for all of our new products.

There is no release date for these drivers at this time.

The SetDataBuffers section only needs to be done once, and can be carried out outside of the RunBlock / GetData loop.

You will need to save the data as a file, then read the file into the buffer... waveformSize = 0; printf("Select a waveform file to load: "); scanf("%s", fileName); if ((fp = fopen(fileName, "r"))) // read in data - one number per line { while (EOF != fscanf(fp, "%hi", (arbitraryWaveform + waveformS...

We do not have any labview ETS examples, but there is an ETS section in PS4000con.c c-code example, which may help you get an undertanding of what you need to do to get this working under LabView.

You need to implement something like this...... Function mv_to_adc(mv As Long, range As Long) As Long mv_to_adc = ((mv * 32767) / range) End Function Then, in the function where you're setting the trigger.... Trig = mv_to_adc(2000, 10000) REM 2000 is the trigger point (in mv). 10000 is the range sel...

The return value is 0 for an error, non-zero for success.
(Not as stated in the manual).

The set_sig_gen_arb function code in the ps2000con.c is a good example to look at.

Note: The values in the arbitraryWaveform buffer need to be in the range 0 to 255, and the size of this buffer should be < 4094

Please try the example sent, to see if it works for you.

There is a probelm with the current driver, when you open > 1 unit via USB, by providing their serial numbers. You can open >1 unit if you do not provide the serial numbers of the units.... Dim handle1 As Integer Dim handle2 As Integer Dim status As Integer status = UsbPt104OpenUnit(handle1, 0) stat...

The 3rd parameter......string_length: the length of the character string buffer

If you change your call to
ps2000_get_unit_info(m_handle, infoString, sizeof(infoString), desiredInfoLine);

it will work.

In the ps4000pg.en.pdf programmers guide, section 4.6.1.1 (Using block mode) shows 'Use ps4000SetDataBuffer' as step 7, after ps4000RunBlock is called, and ps4000BlockReady callback function has indicated that data is ready. If you loop back to the ps4000RunBlock call, you will call ps4000SetDataBuf...

I tryed the same with timebase=0 after that, but 'timbase' is now set to 0 the instead of 4 The timebase value is 0 because that is what you set it to. Check the timeInterval value. It will be set to 4. Note: You can only set timebase 0 if you disable one of the 2 channels. Both channels are enable...

This time is PC dependant, and will also vary depending on what else the PC is doing, hence the guide states up to 50mS. The time can be reduced by setting the DataBuffer prior to calling RunBlock. Using Rapid Block mode will enable multiple captures, for each data retrieval, so reducing the retriev...
