setup.py failing!

Post by royhersh »

hello,

I have picoscope 6404D, I am trying to write python code that will make sweep on sound range.
I found the git and this siggen.py file https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-pyt ... 0SigGen.py, however when we try to run it we fail.

I have picoscope gui and picoSDK 64bit from your download center, we have downloaded numpy and mathplot (maybe i misspelled this one).
after reinstalling the picosdk and moving the python files to some other directory.
I got new error message, when i try to run "python3 setup.py install".
This error is very odd since i did not install any 32 bit program.

Code: Select all

"C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\python.exe" "C:/Users/user/Desktop/picosdk-python-wrappers-master/picosdk-python-wrappers-master/ps6000Examples/ps6000SigGen.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
C:\Program Files\Pico Technology\SDK\lib\ps6000.dll 32
  File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\picosdk-python-wrappers-master\picosdk-python-wrappers-master\ps6000Examples\picosdk\library.py", line 124, in _load

    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Process finished with exit code 1

Hi Roy,

Please check the order of the program directories in your Windows PATH environment variable. It might be picking up the PicoScope 6 directory first if you have installed that.

Try placing the C:\Program Files\Pico Technology\SDK\lib entry at the beginning of the PATH environment variable.

Hope this helps,
