Does this mean that the DrDaq hardware could work with the Picoscope 6 beta software on Linux? Unclear on the dependency relationship between driver support and front-end software? Don't want to run DrDaq on Windows.

Thanks.

Yes, USBDrDaq works with PicoScope 6 Beta for Linux.

Hi, I'm getting up and running with a 3406D MSO. Have installed on a clean installation of Ubuntu 22.04.3 and am running fine with Picoscope 7. Now I'm trying to get going with the 'C' API but am having trouble finding example code. I've followed the installation instructions above but seem to be missing files. All I have is a very sparse :-

I understand libps3000a should contain what I need but all that's there is a 'Copyright' and a 'usbtest' executable, which runs ok.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Thanks Martyn, So I've got the example code but have a couple of issues building it.
1) The source code (configure.ac and ps3000aCon.c) references a libps3000a-1.1 folder but there isn't one in /opt/picoscope/include. I remove the '-1.1' suffix to get further.

2) The build now fails due to missing header files not in /opt/picoscope/include/libps3000a :-
PicoCallback.h
PicoConnectProbes.h
PicoDeviceEnums.h
PicoDeviceStructs.h
PicoVersion.h

I copy these in from /opt/picoscope/include/libps5000a and the build completes but it seems wrong I'm having to hack the SDK and example code.

Am I doing something wrong?
Steve

Looked a bit further at the missing header files. The missing files are intrinsic to the SDK as the dependency on them arises from ps3000aApi.h, i.e. they can't be attributed to out of date example code. So, they're either missing from the libps3000a package or there's another package this one is dependent on.

Could you help me out with this issue?

I want to integrate Picoscope 5243D with Raspberry Pi 5, running OS Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm). Will this repository work for Picoscope 5243D? I need to acquire data through Picoscope 5243D integrated with Raspberry Pi with Python.
