The LabVIEW drivers that Picotech provide for the 2203, 2204, and 2205 are limited. I've written a bunch of much better ones and some examples. All available for free, here: http://ktizo.co.uk/Picoscope-220x-Drivers.php
The driver implements most features of the PicoScope:
Open / close
Adjust channel properties
Set up trigger
Set up timebase
Collect data
Signal generator
Utilities: Flash LED, Get unit data
AUTOSCALE feature - something that Picotech do not provide even for their high-end scopes!
The driver doesn't include all the functions, but there's enough there for a LabVIEW developer to get some good ideas hopefully.
Enjoy - and feedback welcome (just remember they're free though!)

Thank you for posting this, Jon. I didn't have any luck with their supplied fast sample example driver because of a DLL error (said the function was missing - see picture). Your drivers work really well, though, so thank you!

This function doesn't exist in the DLL. @28 does, but changing to that didn't fix it.
The latest version of the SDk (10.5.0.32) for the PicoScope 2000 series contains an updated example for Fast Streaming, which also resolves the issue of lost data during the capture process.
As part of this, the wrapper dll has also been updated.
I meet the same question as RnDMonkey when running the fast streaming mode with 2204A in R10.5.0.32 SDK. i think i have put ps2000.dll and ps2000warp.dll in the correct position. maybe there is some problem with the fast streaming example in SDK R10.5.0.32.
i have run PicoScope2000ExampleFastStreaming.vi and it works fine. However when i run the ps2000_fast_stream.vi, it has an error like RnDMonkey. so How to fix it?
Thank you for your reply! i have tried the old ps2000warp.dll, it run correctly. before i just wanted to know why it didn't run. Now, as for lost data, i will pay attetion to it.
Recently, I have purchased a "picoScope 2204".
I can't operate my picoScope 2204 with the software LabVIEW although I have downloaded the software "PS2000sdk_r10_5_0_32.zip". Can you tell me how I can operate this?.
I think, I need a LabVIEW manual settings in Spanish, please.
What do you mean when you say "don't pick up the PicoScope 2204."?
Can you post here or send to support@picotech.com a screen shot of the error are you seeing?
