 |
|
HI,
The API provided with the ps3000 series has the ps3000_set_trigger() function. Can you please enlighten on how to set the "threshold" and "delay" parameters? is the threshold in mV or V setting? |

The PS3000 manual states:
| Quote: | | the threshold for the trigger event. This is scaled in 16-bit ADC counts at the currently selected range. If an external trigger is enabled the range is fixed at +/-20V. |
threshold (16 bit ADC counts) = threshold (mV) * 32767 / inputRange(mV)
Therefore, if you have the 1V range selected and you want to trigger at 100mV the threshold will be:
100 * 32768 / 1000 = 3277 16 bit ADC counts |

Hi, thanks for the reply.
How about the parameter on delay? I am using the example program streamingtest in C++ with the user interface. How should i determine what to be entered in the delay column?
Thanks and regards

Again, quoting the manual:
| Quote: | | delay, specifies the delay, as a percentage of the requested number of data points, between the trigger event and the start of the block. It should be in the range -100% to +100%. Thus, 0% means that the trigger event is at the first data value in the block, and -50% means that it is in the middle of the block. If you wish to specify the delay as a floating-point value, use ps3000_set_trigger2() instead. |
