Hello everyone,
I have currently a Picoscope model 9301-15, which I am trying to use to collect voltages data for extended periods of time (between 1 to 5 hours).
First, I was planning to use function "save" in picosample 3, but unfortunately, the file generated by this tool has an extension ".wdm", which I am not sure how to even use. I can open it with the notepad but the data does not correpond to any sort of voltage (ramdom characters).Thus, I decided to collect this data through a python program and generate any type of data file for plotting.
While checking in the web for methods to have the picoscope conected to python, I stumbled upon a sample code that could help me to obtain all the data. I proceeded to download PicoSDK_64_10.6. and run Spyder (python 3.7), but I am not able to stablish any connection with the picoscope.
Going step by step throught this first part of the code:
from __future__ import print_function
from ctypes import *
from picosdk import ps9000
import time, sys
I obtained the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'picosdk'
and by further checking the picoSDK folder in my pc, I noticed there is no ps9000.dll, so I think that had something to do with it. Specially considering that when downloading the picoSDK app from here https://www.picotech.com/downloads, I had to do it from inferior picoscope models as none was found for he 9000 models.
Being that as it may, I would sincerely appreciate any type of help on this issue. I attached the whole script i am found to get the data from picoscopes, but with according changes to my unit model.
Thank you very much for your help,
Nicolas
