Picoscope 3403D library - ps3000a.dll crashes inside ps3000aRunBlock API
Picoscope 3403D library - ps3000a.dll crashes inside ps3000aRunBlock API
Hi,
I am using ps3000a.lib in my application with Picoscope 3403D connected to USB2.0 port & AC power.
I can successfully use the device to acquire waveforms.
However, when I repeatedly use the scope, the ps3000a.dll is crashing inside ps3000aRunBlock API with message "Unhandled Exception at 0x.. in Appname.exe : C0000005: Access violation reading location 0x.....".
- The issue is random but often repeatable in once in 10 times.
- The crash happens the first time or during subsequent usage.
- It happens in both release and debug builds.
- I have verified the inputs and other settings to this API is exactly the same during working & non-working scenario.
To repeat the problem, I created a small application that will :
Repeat following steps in a loop {initialize - start scope - stop - close unit}.
A 200ms delay is added in between each step.
Attached are the error screenshots of error and simplified pseudo code to repeat the problem.
I appreciate any suggestion to narrow down this pico scope dll crash issue .
Please let me know if you need any other specific information.
Regards
Ink

Reference for other users who may face a similar issue in the future.
The observations are likely due to Library / Driver compatibility issues.
When Picoscope6 is installed along with Pico SDK, it will cause some mismatch leading to random crashes.
So I will keep only the SDK when running my application.
Hope this helps
