Hi Rinus,

If your device is a PicoScope 3204 without an A or B, then you will need the PicoScope 3000 SDK as opposed to the PicoScope 3000a SDK as it uses a different dll and API.

If your device is a 3204A or B, please confirm PicoScope 6 is not running when you start your console application.

Followed your advice to use PicoScope 3000 SDK, console is now Ok
Thank you
Rinus
