Example code is provided in a number of programming languages. You may freely modify
this code for your own applications.
2.14.1
C
The C example program is a comprehensive console mode program that demonstrates
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.
Ensure that the ps3000a.dll and PicoIpp files are in the search path.

Excel
1. Load the spreadsheet ps3000a.xls
2. Select Tools | Macro
3. Select GetData
4. Select Run
Note: The Excel macro language is similar to Visual Basic. The functions which return a
TRUE/FALSE value, return 0 for FALSE and 1 for TRUE, whereas Visual Basic expects
65 535 for TRUE. Check for >0 rather than =TRUE.
