Trouble with Picoscope connection with Matlab

Post by tdamorim »

I´m using Picoscope 5244D to connect with Matlab R2018a. I´ve already installed the SDK library(picotech site), Instrument Toolbox and Picoscope 5000 Series A API Generic Driver, from Mathworks File Exchange.

The first question is about the examples folder in the Picoscope 5000 Series A driver and the driver itself: can I use them with 5244D?

When I tryied to use the exemples (like PS5000A_ID_Block_Example.m) I was receiving an error about ps5000aWrap.dll missing file. So I found the file in this forum and added than to SDK/lib. Works a little, but now I´m having the message above. What is wrong???? Thanks.

Warning: Disconnect: No devices found.
Error using icdevice (line 316)
An error occurred while executing the driver create code.
No units found.
If the error is not an instrument error, use MIDEDIT to inspect the driver.

Error in PS5000A_ID_Block_Example (line 74)
ps5000aDeviceObj = icdevice('picotech_ps5000a_generic', '');

Hi

The wrapper files can be downloaded from here https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-wrappers-binaries then once they've been added to the MATLAB path it should resolve the error you're seeing
