Re: Block Mode with PS5203 does not work with one single cap

Hi Hitesh,
your code works fine. But this was only a minimal working example and using the GetValues function for a single capture would result in a fairly large change in the logic of my code. An updated driver would be nice. I will contact you via email.

Thanks for the nice support!

Regards,
Jan

Re: Block Mode with PS5203 does not work with one single cap

Here is a minimal working example, which shows the problem. The example uses Channel A, captures 100 post trigger samples, does not use a trigger and prints the buffer in the end. Running the plain executable prints only zeroes on exit, but running it under a debugger shows values. #include

Re: Block Mode with PS5203 does not work with one single cap

Hi Hitesh, posting the setup functions etc of my program is a little bit more complicated, since most things happen in a GUI. I will create a minimal working example asap to demonstrate the problem. Another finding: When running the program under a debugger the problem does not appear (MinGW 5.3.0 3...

Block Mode with PS5203 does not work with one single capture

Hi, I'm using the rapid block mode to capture one or more power traces. However, after starting my software and capturing a single trace, getValuesBulk does not write anything into the buffer I've allocated for the trace. If i change the number of captures to two, capture the traces, everything work...

Re: Is runBlock a blocking call?

Hi Hitesh, thanks for the fast response. I'm already using the callback function. It can take a few milliseconds to setup the device for data collection so you may wish to incorporate a small delay before instructing the remote board to set the pin to a high level. I hope this helps. Yes, this helps...

Is runBlock a blocking call?

Hi, I'm writing a software which manages two devices. A remote board and a picoscope (6402B). When starting a capture the software sets up the scope and sends a command to the board, which then sets a pin to high level as a trigger. Sometimes it happens that the scope seems to miss the trigger signa...

Re: Calculating amount of blocks in Rapid Block Mode

Hi Hitesh,
thanks for your answer and the idea of verifying my calculated value by calling ps6000MemorySegments again.

I think I will use my calculation as a rough estimation for ps6000MemorySegments and then use ps6000MemorySegments over and over again for fine tuning.

Calculating amount of blocks in Rapid Block Mode

Hi, I want to capture as many as possible power traces in the rapid block mode (I'm observing the power consumption of cryptographic devices for each encryption round). I've have a predefined number of sample points to capture and a predefined timebase. I now want to capture as many blocks as possib...
