CannotFindPicoSDKError: PicoSDK (ps2000) not found, check PATH

Hi, I'm having trouble getting started running the picosdk.

I'm working with,
- Python (64-bit) 3.9.17 through Anaconda 23.7.3
- PicoSDK 10.7.25 (64-bit)
- picosdk-python-wrappers from GitHub and installed through conda
and I'm running everything through Spyder on Anaconda.

When I try to run the test code from the github, to check the driver

Code: Select all

from picosdk.discover import find_all_units

scopes = find_all_units()

for scope in scopes:
    print(scope.info)
    scope.close()

I get,

Code: Select all

CannotFindPicoSDKError: PicoSDK (ps2000) not found, check PATH

I've got the TC-08 connected and I can see it running from the picolog software, but I can't run anything through python.

Trying to run the example python scripts for usbtc08 throws another CannotFindPicoSDKError

Code: Select all

CannotFindPicoSDKError: PicoSDK (usbtc08) not found, check PATH

Hello,
I got this error when I was initially working with Pico Scope. I was working in VS Code, what I did:
1) install both Pico scope software and sdk from picotech site for my version 2204.
2) Then at the terminal do pip install picosdk.
3) restart VS Code.
After doing these I didn't get any error like this.

Anand
