Creating a deployment setup w/o installing all the software

Hi there, I am trying to create a deployment (setup.exe) for my application that uses the ps4000.dll and ps4000wrap.dll. I am wondering If I can avoid having my user to install the picoscope 6 software prior to installing my application. Originally I thought of including ps4000.dll, picoIpp.dll (ps4...

Re: Sample number and graphical output

Just wanted to update: I was able to resolve this speed issue by optimizing some of the draw codes. For example, in order to scale the output to an output box I used buffer.max and buffer.min multiple times. While I wasn't sure what VB.net did in the background, I timed the execution code and realiz...

Sample number and graphical output

Hi there again, On to my last hurdle =). My project involves making a interface screen where data points are acquired and then the graph is displayed for the user to see the incoming signals. This is pretty much mimicking the picoscope 6 interface. I can vary the time divisions, vertical scale, etc....

How to set triggering threshold for EXT

Hi there, I am using the picoscope 4226 with channel A ,B and EXT inputs. When combined with the picoscope 6 software, I notice that the trigger threshold is limited to the voltage range of whichever channel is selected for the trigger. However, when the EXT channel is selected as the trigger, the l...

Re: Triggering difference for sine and square waves

Not exactly the behaviour. I have been able to resolve the problem but I am unsure if it is indeed the solution. I had my autoTrigger_ms set to 20ms. After I increased this to 200ms, it seemed to start triggering consistently. What I am confused about is that my signal period is only 10ms. Is there ...

Re: Triggering difference for sine and square waves

Hi Martyn, One problem that arises is that when I try to trigger off the EXT/B channel (it has a synchronized square wave), my signal (sine wave) on channel A is not stable. The back and forth movement observed on channel A seems to correspond with how the triggering moves up/down as it triggers off...

Triggering difference for sine and square waves

Hi there, When I have a sine or ramp wave, I can easily trigger at a specified threshold, but I cannot do the same for a square wave. For example, if I set the threshold to 2V with a buffer length of 100 with a preTriggerPoints of 50, and postTriggerPoints of 50, I'd expect to find that the buffer(5...

Re: ps4000SetTriggerDelay

Thanks Martyn for the reply. This puts my mind to rest.

May I ask if this new definition of delay was reflected a new programmer's manual somewhere or has it not been released at the moment?

Thanks once again!

ps4000SetTriggerDelay

Hi there, The definition for delay as given in the ps4000pg.en manual is as follows: delay - the time between the trigger occuring and the first sample, in multiples of eight sample periods. For example, if delay = 100, then the scope would wait 800sample periods before sampling. At timebase of 80MS...

Re: PS4000 - Problem showing values on screen

Hi Hitesh, I tried using the ps4000wrap.dll as well and subsequently removed my callback function and used the isReady method. The problem still showed up. I wonder if it has sometime to do with incorrect time base values which causes some form of timing issue with collecting data. In any case, I tr...

PS4000 - Problem showing values on screen

Hi there, I've been trying for weeks without success to get my program to stream values without crashing. Hope anybody can give me some direction! I apologize that I could not get the code to be formatted properly in this message. Background: Briefly, my main goal is to have a vb.net (visual basic) ...
