Problem Picoscope 4824 icdevice (line 316) Matlab

Post by jonasenderlin »

Hi,

I have been using your Picoscope 4824 for several weeks nowand want to use it in a project.
For this I would like to read in a signal with Matlab, which is triggered by an event.

Until a few days ago I was on the right way and everything was fine. I was able to read data into Matlab via the examples and my own modified code.
But now, for some unexplainable reason, all examples and my code have the same error which is shown for the block example in the following:

PicoScope 4000 Series MATLAB Instrument Driver


   Instrument Device Object Using Driver : picotech_ps4000_generic.mdd
 
   Instrument Information

      Manufacturer:       Pico Technology Ltd.
      Model:              PicoScope 4000 Series
 
   Driver Information
      DriverType:         MATLAB generic
      DriverName:         picotech_ps4000_generic.mdd
      DriverVersion:      1.1.12
 
   Communication State
      Status:             closed

Warning: Disconnect: No devices found. 
Error using icdevice (line 316)
An error occurred while executing the driver create code.
No units found.
If the error is not an instrument error, use MIDEDIT to inspect the driver.

Error in PS4000_ID_Block_Example (line 73)
ps4000DeviceObj = icdevice('picotech_ps4000_generic.mdd');
 
I use a Windows 10 enterprise 64bit OS and MATLAB R2017b with the instrument control toolbox version 3.12. Your PicoScope® 6 - PC-Oszilloskop-Software has the Version: 6.13.6.3775.

Does anyone have an idea and can help me please?

Thanks,
Jonas

For the PicoScope 4824 you need to be using the 4000a examples, not the 4000 ones.

Hey Martyn,

thank you for you quick reply.
In fact, I already had this driver, just replaced it for error search and forgot to reverse it.
Unfortunately, there is still an error that I originally meant.
Do you also have a solution for this?
