Testing 4000a series code on a 5000 series picoscope

Kapton · Post by **Kapton** » Sun Oct 04, 2020 9:50 pm

We are working on a project, a LabVIEW VI, for a 4000 series picoscope. That picoscope, however, is currently in use, so we instead have a 5000 series to test our code on. The problem is that the SDK functions and examples are failing to recognize the 5000 picoscope.

Is there a way around this? Is it possible to have a 5000 series picoscope run 4000a LabVIEW code?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated, thanks

Hello,
Unfortunately the answer is no, as the current 5000 series use the 5000a API which uses a different dll than the 4000a API. Both will have functions that are similar, in operation.

I figured as much, thanks for the info. You wouldn't happen to know if you can simulate a connection to a PicoScope to test code?
