Capturing data in Block Mode

Hello, I've got a Picoscope 6404D, capturing data in Block Mode. Due to the memory of the cope (that is 2GS), I should be able to capture exactly this amout of data or at least 1 GS. While reading out the buffer with LabVIEW in Block Mode the maximum value of Samples I can catch is something around ...

Re: Fastest way of capuring data

Hi Mark, thanks for your detailed response. Unfortunately, no. Although I can understand why you might have that impression. The PicoScopes can either be acquiring data, or transferring it to the PC. Not both at once. (This is because the same FPGA engine that handles captures, also aggregates and f...

Re: Fastest way of capuring data

Hi Mark, thanks for your reply. I want to specify my problem a little bit more. I use USB 3 with the Picoscope 6404D. The block length isn't specified up to now and so I'm very variable with this. I tried very different ones starting from 100 to 1000000, while 100 has to me the minimum. The transmis...

Time Offset in Rapid Block Mode Bulk

Hello, I'm trying to use the bulk version of rapid block mode this time. The programmer's guide explains this in a good way. Step 10 of the guide says on page 10 (What a coincidence! :D ) "Retrieve the time offset for each data segment using ps6000GetValuesTriggerTimeOffsetBulk64.". As I used the La...

Fastest way of capturing data

Hello, I use the Picoscope 6404D for capturing data using the SDK and Labview. As my application needs a fast data aquisition I need to use the fastest timebase that's possible (200 ps). When I use the block mode I can collect a block of data with a predefined number of samples, transfer the data to...

Fastest way of capuring data

Hello, I use the Picoscope 6404D trying to collect data with the SDK and Labview. My Question is about the differnt modes I can use for this. I need to use the fastest timebase that is possible; which is 200 ps. When I use the block mode, there's the problem that I can only collect a block of data p...
