Where is PicoScopeVoltsAdc.vi?

Post by spflanze »

From PicoScope3000a.llb I inserted the PicoScope3000aSettings.vi into my LabVIEW application. Immediately I saw it search for PicoScopeVoltsAdc.vi and not find it. Does this exist somewhere or do I need to create my own from ps3000a.dll ?

In the shared folder on GitHub, as part of the PicoScope.llb

Thank you for the link to PicoScope.llb. I downloaded it and opened it in LabVIEW 2017. There does not appear to be any VIs in that library. Attached is a screenshot of what I see when I open it.

After looking this over some more it looks to me that the missing VI converts floating point threshold value in units of volts to a sixteen bit fixed point DAC value. I can create LabVIEW code to do this.

We have checked and the vi's are in the PicoScope.llb file pulled down from GitHub.

What version of LabVIEW are you using?
What size is the PicoScope.llb file that you downloaded ?

LabVIEW 2017.
The PicoScope.llb I downloaded on my first try had a size of 40 KB.
After seeing your response I tried a second time and this time got a file size of 159 KB. This second download contained the expected VIs. Thanks for you help. :)
