Help getting pico 2207A working with Labview

[mitch1111]

Hello,

So I have this PicoScope 2207A that I'm trying to get working with Labview and need some help. I downloaded the SDK from https://www.picotech.com/downloads. I got the 64 bit version. As per the documentation found inside I placed PicoScope2000A.llb in the user libraries folder, which has caused them to show up when working on the block diagram. The manual said to place ps2000a.dll and ps2000awrap.dll in the folder containing my labview project. I'm not exactly sure where that would be but as per this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiW71gQObn8) I placed them into the resources folder.

When I try to open the examples I am greeted with some errors. I've attached the warnings upon start up. Upon running I get some errors that I have attached by screencapping multiple times and throwing into a paint file. Another thing to note is that some of the example vis boot up with broken wires. I really don't know what to do and any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi mitch1111,

Where did you get the driver from for the PicoScope 2207A? I was not able to find it on ni.com/idnet. Could you direct us to the manual you referenced? Is the version of LabVIEW compatible with the library?

When trying to figure out why LabVIEW code isn't working, we need to see the code, and the best way to do that is to attach the VI (or, if there are multiple VIs, compress the folder that contains them and attach the resulting .ZIP file).  Pictures of VIs are pretty useless -- we can't "execute" pictures, can't ask LabVIEW for help by right-clicking a picture of a VI, can't see "the other Cases" in a Case Statement, etc.

Have you done a search for PicoScope LabVIEW?  I found a video from the Pico people discussing how to install their Drivers and how to run their LabVIEW Demo software (including fixing the problem of finding the DLL).  Try looking at this video, follow the directions, and if you still have trouble, re-post and attach your code.

P.S. -- if you viewed the Videos, you'd see that the "errors" you got are expected errors, and you are supposed to tell LabVIEW that it is OK to use the DLLs in their new destination.  It sounds like you've set things up more-or-less correctly, but might not understand how to run the software.  Pay attention to the video.
