Post by stmoeller60 »

my 4224A does not connect.
Everthing is installed ( SDK and generic driver )

I met this problem too. I then install the windows SDK 7.1 in my win 10 following the instruction on https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forum ... windowssdk. Now my streaming example can run. I'm not sure if this can work for you. But if you want to try, please take care you need to uninstall the c++ compilers ahead of time.

This may be that the 4224a, which has only just been released, is not yet supported by Matlab.

brucep - Which PicoScope model did you have this issue with ?

This would be very disappointing, because I bought the 4224A for driving it with Matlab.
It is part of your product specification :

" ... interface to third-party software packages such as National Instruments LabVIEW and MathWorks MATLAB"

Thanks for the Windows SDK 7.1 advice.

It will not help with the 4224A as we need to edit https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ps4 ... eneric.mdd to add support for the 4224A, 4424A, and 4824A . This work is scheduled for next week having been delayed due to remote working and the absence of the relevant developers to complete the tasks and then the need to test against real devices.
