Correct installation procedure for using USBTC-08

Post by gilmaor »

Hello All,
I am trying to use TC-08 with labview but with limited success.
I have found files by mike randall which support only one device.
When I am trying to load the example from pico Github I get the following message:
"Labview failed to load dynamic library because of missing external symbols or dependencies, or because an invalid file format. the file USBTC08xxxxx.vi could not be loaded."
prior to trying I have installed PicoLog. and the pico technology SDK.
I have placed both usbtc08.dll and h file in system 32 what am I missing?
should I register the unit?
What else can I try to make it work?
Thanks!
Gil,
Please see attached error message.

Hi,
You shouldn't need to copy the dll or .h files.

Install the SDK (32-bit or 64-bit) the location of dll's are registered in the windows PATH variable.
At a minimum you need the whole contents of the folder-
https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ni- ... er/usbtc08

The file USBTC08OpenUnit.vi is here-
https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ni- ... penUnit.vi

As per-
https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-ni- ... ter#readme
