 Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2005 7:08 pm Post subject: VB example 2 channel collection with trigger |
 |
|
We are unable to obtain data from channel A and B when set to Both and triggering either on channel A or B. Independently each channel works fine, that is I can set a trigger on A (or B) and obtain data on either channel A or B. Breaking the program indicates that the failure is occurring during the wait for "ready"
Do
ready = ps3000_ready(ps3000_handle)
If ready Then
Exit Do
End If
Loop
However we see failure at the return from get_timebase and run_block calls prior to the wait for ready.
(note Block mode)
running vb5 windows 98
(snippet of code)
channela_ok = ps3000_set_channel(ps3000_handle, 0, 1, 1, 9)
channelb_ok = ps3000_set_channel(ps3000_handle, 1, 1, 1, 9)
MsgBox " a ok = " & channela_ok & " b ok = " & channelb_ok
ok = ps3000_set_trigger(ps3000_handle, 0, 2000, 0, -50, 0)
MsgBox ok
ok = ps3000_get_timebase(ps3000_handle, timebase, no_of_values, 5, time_units, oversample)
MsgBox ok
lstChannelA.Clear
lstChannelB.Clear
ok = ps3000_run_block(ps3000_handle, no_of_values, timebase, oversample, time_indisposed)
msgbox ok
Do
ready = ps3000_ready(ps3000_handle)
If ready Then
Exit Do
End If
Loop
all message boxes indicate a status of true (1) except when failure occurs (stuck in ready loop) we get a false return for
ok = ps3000_get_timebase(ps3000_handle, timebase, no_of_values, 5, time_units, oversample)
MsgBox ok
We get this same false return and no values returned for channel B if we don't first set channel A to "off" with
channela_ok = ps3000_set_channel(ps3000_handle, 0, 0, 1, 9)
Any help resolving dual channel block mode acquistion would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Bob
PS. I noticed that the printed out version has an additional argument at the end that isnt in the vb declared or code call ........max_samples as long |
