I have a small hobby project where I would like to include automatic recordings through my PS2204, kind of like a signal log for later review. Handling the unit is not the problem, but rather I would like to save the recorded data in a way so it can be viewed in the PicoScope software, since it is quite convenient for zooming, scaling and so on. However, it is only possible to open psdata/psd files from within PicoScope. Is there some kind of file format documentation or SDK functionality I am missing, or any other additional tools that can do the job? (like converting csv to psdata or something of equal simplicity)
Our PicoScope software is free. Such a tool would allow other data acquisition devices to make use of our software, so developing such a tool would not make sense.
Yes you are totally wright. But it is not wise to leave 1000$ device to do the capture on the remote site.
Ok, there are other software to to the analyze but i have already spent a lot of time learning this software.
It has some cool features other don't have.
I have a suggestion. Maybe pico can create such tool and sell it for some price?
I am first to pay for such tool.
If you have some develping skill you can write your own psdata interface.
the file format is not too compicated
But the prefferred way is to let picotech provide some sort of API, for example only working when there is a pico scope connected to the pc.
Then they know for sure the software is used with their hardware.
This way you can capture the data with the API on higher sample rates, or longer timespans, than picoscope now supports.
And then analyse the data with picoscope software.
Edit:
This problem topic16751.html can easaly be solved if the OP had a way to write psdata files with the API.
