all of the facilities of the driver.
To compile the program, create a new project for an Application containing the
following files: -
ps3000acon.c
and:
ps3000abc.lib (Borland 32-bit applications) or
ps3000a.lib (Microsoft Visual C 32-bit applications)
The following files must be in the compilation directory:
ps3000aApi.h
picoStatus.h
and the following file must be in the same directory as the executable:
ps3000a.dll
2.14.2
C#
The following files are required:
AssemblyInfo.cs
PS3000ACSConsole.cs
PS3000AImports.cs
PS3000APinnedArray.cs
ps3000a.dll
PicoIpp.dll
To build the Windows Console application from the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE (2010
Express or later):
Load the PS3000ACSConsole.sln solution file into the IDE.
Press F6 to build the solution or click Debug > Build Solution.
