LMX2592: VBA/Matlab control of TICSPro

Part Number: LMX2592

Hi,

I am trying to create a VBA/Matlab driver for TICSPro.

Anything I can do to fix this problem?

Thanks,

  • Amaury,

    Attached is an excel worksheet that I have that works for me.  Looking from your code, maybe you have seen this before.

    1373.TICSPro Automation Example.xlsmI installed TICSPro NOT to program files.  I don't know if this has anythign to do with it.  If this doesn't work, I'm not sure.  We use windows 7.  If this is windows 10, I think I may have heard a complaint of it not working, but can't remember.

    REgards,

    Dean

  • Hi,

    thanks for the answer, I try to install the softaware in different places and it doesn't work. I have the same errors.

    I'm in Windows 10. Nobody has any idea ?

    Thanks

  • Hello Amaury,

    I think what you need to do is initialize to the part directory which is located at: C:\ProgramData\Texas Instruments\TICS Pro

    So...

    Call TICSProLoader.Initialize("C:\ProgramData\Texas Instruments\TICS Pro")

    Let me know if this works for you.

  • Hello,

    it doesn't work for me. I have the same error.

    Thanks

  • Hello Amaury,

    Sorry for your troubles. Here is some thoughts for debug. I noticed it seems the Error Info.csv file is missing from C:\ProgramData\Texas Instruments\TICS Pro

    Please copy:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\TICS Pro\Error Info.csv
    Into:
    C:\ProgramData\Texas Instruments\TICS Pro

    ---

    Based on your errors..

    The arithmetical operation has caused an overflow of capacity.

    The object reference is not passed to an instance of an object

    ---

    I'm worried about some initial state of LMX2592, or the device last loaded by TICS Pro. Do you know if this error occurs before the SelectDevice command?
    - To ensure the LMX2592 is loaded first, edit: C:\ProgramData\Texas Instruments\TICS Pro\Configurations\TICS Pro.ini
    - Set DEVICE_NAME00 = LMX2592
    - Set DEVICE_TYPE00 = BuiltinDevice
    > If it isn't already.

    If this solves your issue, then whatever device was loaded by default first had some issue. You could address using the technique I'll mention now I think.
    Remove the saved state by...
    - renaming LMX2592.tcb to LMK2592.txt in C:\ProgramData\Texas Instruments\TICS Pro\Configurations\Devices\PLL + VCO\LMX2592
    - If this fixes the issue, please attach LMK2592.txt to this thread so I can take a look at what was causing the issue.

    I hope one of these two items can help you! Please let me know your status after trying. Thanks.

  • Hello,

    I already copied the .csv.

    TICS Pro.ini has already this informations.

    I change LMX2592.tcb into LMK2592.txt and it didn't change anything.

    I still have the same errors after the changes.

    Thanks
  • Hello Amaury,

    Do I understand that you have no issues loading the LMX2592 profile when not using automation?

    Have you been able to try with another computer?
