Pico 2206b PICO_STATUS unknown error

Post by kabuki »

Hello everybody,

I'm using a Pico 2206b (and sometimes 2405a) and want to use it with Labview.
I downloaded the x32 SDK (10.6.16.113) and these examples from Github:
'PicoScope2000aExampleBlock.vi' and the 'PicoScope' library.

I receive the following error when running the vi:
Error API function call Call Library Function Node in Picoscope2000aGetBlock.vi->PicoScope2000aExampleBlock.vi
PICO_STATUS unknown error
Error code: -3903 Decimal
FFFFF0C1 Hex

I noticed the following in the Block Diagramm:
-the output (PICO_STATUS) is 0, followed by ERR1097 which leads to the error code I mentioned above.
-the functions are all followed by -2 (example: Function name ps2000aRunBlock-2)

The Scopes do work with the Pico6 software!
Why is my vi not working?

Using:
Win7 x64 Bit
Labview 2015 x32 Bit
SDK x32 Bit
ps2000a.dll

I have corrected some errors in the https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ni- ... leBlock.vi example. But this is unlikely to fix your issue.
The issue you having is the Pico dll functions names are all followed by -2
This happens to sometimes LabVIEW links to the -2 versions of the functions in the dll. These are not to used.
So you need to check all function calls are the non -2 versions and have the correct function names.

Thank you for your reply Andrew!
but unfortunately that did not solve my problem.
the only block that seems to affected by this problem ist the ps2000aRunBlock. I tried the function names without -2 but the block still seems to be faulty.
