Picoscope 3204A invalid handler

Post by moatazsawi »

I am trying to run Matlab code for Picoscope 3204A and it's working fine with me in computer running Windows7. But when I try the complete Matlab code in other PC running Windows XP SP3, I have faced problem with the code and message ("Close unit status: 12") appears and it means "PICO_INVALID_HANDLE". Note that the two PC are running the same version of Matlab.
After that I have tried to load library of the matlab instrument driver and I found the problem as shown below:

Code: Select all

>> loadlibrary('ps3000aWrap.dll','ps3000aWrapMFile')
??? Error using ==> loadlibrary at 454
There was an error loading the library "C:\PS3000a_MATLAB_IC_Driver\ps3000aWrap.dll"
The specified module could not be found.



Caused by:
    Error using ==> loaddefinedlibrary
    The specified module could not be found.
Can you help me to know the exact problem and how to solve it?

Hi moatazsawi,

Please ensure that you have copied the 32-bit version of the ps3000aWrap.dll to your Windows XP SP3 PC.

Also, please confirm from your Programs list that the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) has been installed on your PC:

I hope this helps.
