If you are using Visual Studio then create a new Win32 Console Application as an "Empty Project", then add picoStatus.h, ps3000aApi.h, ps3000a.lib, and PS3000Acon.c to it.

In PS3000Acon.c you may need to change

Code: Select all

#include "..\ps3000aApi.h"

to

Code: Select all

#include "ps3000aApi.h"

depending on file location, and also ensure that PS3000a.dll is in the same folder as the exe, or on the path. Installing PicoScope6 will look after the last part.

The project should now build and run.

Hy thanks for the info before.but after i am followed your instruction the simple programming i wrote as follow :

Code: Select all

// cuba.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "picoStatus.h"
#include "ps3000aApi.h"
#include "PS3000Acon.c"

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	return 0;
}
//-------------------------

then the errors came out

Code: Select all

Can you try the following Visual Studio solution

Go to http://picostore.picotech.com/download/1379--test.zip

When prompted enter the password 'WHITEray1814' (without the quotes).
This file is available until 10 December, 2012.

Thanks, it`s work. I just want to know which code or variable that refer to output of real time data that we can modify. Thanks

Post by **Martyn** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 10:01 am

The functions that get data from the driver and write it to screen/file are

BlockDataHandler for block mode
RapidBlockDataHandler for rapid block mode
StreamDataHandler for streaming mode

you should be able to work it out from there.
