Picoscope 3205D unable to connect to MatLab

Post by samzac18 »

Hello,

I have not been able to connect to my device using MatLab in Windows 10. I have tried with matlab 2023a, 2021b and 2015b, with the same results. I have downloaded from the add-ons the picoscope drivers and toolbox and the instrument control toolbox from matlab. I installed in addition the Microsoft sdk 7.1 and pico sdk_64_10.7.25.290.

The error I get is the following:

Code: Select all

Error using instrument/delete
Operation failed: An error occurred while executing the driver disconnect code.
Dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type.
If this error is not an instrument error, use MIDEDIT to inspect the driver.

Error in icdevice (line 392)
                delete(obj);

Error in picofftnoisereduction (line 30)
    ps3000aDeviceObj = icdevice('C:\Users\hayst\Documents\Picoscope_control\picotech_ps3000a_generic.mdd', '');
I would add that there is no issue when controlling the device from PicoScope 7 (I am not running it in parallel with Matlab, as I saw that can cause this problem).

I would appreciate any advice or suggestion.

Best,
Sabrina

Problem is solved. Not clear how. Just redid all the steps again from scratch.

This error is normally due to the PicoScope Support Toolbox not being present, this can be added though AddOn manager, just search for "PicoScope Support Toolbox"
