Unable to open picoscope in labview example

Post by egwis »

Hi,

I just got a picoscope 2208. I installed picoscope 6 from the provided CD and everything worked fine.

However, I'm unable to run the provided labview example (ps2000_fast_stream.vi). When I run the vi, the pop-up window with the picoscope logo appears and after the green bar loads about 10%, I get an "unable the open the picoscope" error message.

I'm running win 7 64 bit, but a 32 bit labview 8.5.

Thanks

Martyn

The 2208 is one of the newer 2000 series units and requires the "a" version of the sdk, (including example vi's for block, rapidblock, and streaming), the file you mention is from the older one

Please go to http://www.picotech.com/software.html and select PicoScope 2208 at Step 1 and the SDK at Step 2

Thanks Martyn!

I downloaded the "a" version of the sdk. Unfortunately, two of the sub-vi are in a newer version of Labview: picostatus.vi and picoErrorHandler.vi. Is there a labview 8.5 compatible version of these files somewhere?

Hi,

Please find attached a zip file containing the two vi files saved for LabVIEW 8.5

Hope this helps.
