Any way to uniquely identify a scope and connect to it?

Is there any way at all (in code) to uniquely identify a scope and connect to it? I will potentially have five Pico 22014A scopes hooked up to my computer, all monitoring different things, and I need to be able to connect to them in such a way that I know which one I am connecting to. Therefore, something like this just doesn't work:

short scopeHandle = Imports.OpenUnit();

Because there is no way to say which unit to connect to. I need a function that accepts some kind of identifier (an int or a string, or anything really) as a parameter.

I found this post on a related topic: topic5143.html

But that post still doesn't address connecting to multiple scopes on a single computer in a uniquely identifiable way.

Any solutions? This is actually kind of a showstopper for us if we can't do this.

Hello David,

The ps2000 driver uses an older driver model so it does not support the ability to use the serial number as a second parameter like the ps2000a driver (used for models such as the PicoScope 2206B) when opening a connection to a device.

What you can do once you have connected to a device is to query the ps2000_get_unit_info using the value of PS2000_BATCH_AND_SERIAL (4) as the value for the line parameter.

You can then check the serial number and proceed based on that information.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
