Why is my PicoScope not recognized by the Test and Measurement Tool?

7 views (last 30 days)
I have a PicoScope 5443D which I am trying to use with MATLAB. I have installed all the necessary support packages, but the device is not found by the Test and Measurement Tool. Also, I am able to connect the scope to an application outside of MATLAB.

The PicoScope drivers are "generic" drivers created by the manufacturer (PicoTech) which interface with the vendor's proprietary driver DLLs. You may use the Test and Measurement Tool (TMTOOL) to create a device object and execute functions in the driver, but they will be not be detected like other instruments in TMTOOL. The recommended workflow is to communicate with the instrument programmatically in MATLAB code using the "icdevice" function and the vendor's MDD driver (available in File Exchange):
