It would be very convenient to have an SDK call to open a particular unit given its serial number. Our system employs 4x PS2205 units. Each unit is wired to a specific sensor, i.e. it is important for the software to be able to know which physical unit is which. The only method I've come up with is ...
I am using a PS2205 with an external trigger. As I understand it, the trigger (configured using ps2000_set_trigger()) is enabled by the call to ps2000_run_block(). What I would like to know is: When is the trigger disabled? 1) After it fires once? 2) By ps2000_get_values()? 3) By ps2000_stop()? 4) [...
(I hope I'm not speaking out of turn:) With the PS2205, I found I had to call ps2000_stop() after the acquisition (ps2000_ready() said "done"). I don't recall the symptom, but I'm pretty sure it occurred on the next ps2000_run_block() call. The PS3000 series might be different, but this seems like t...
One more: I tripped over this discussion: http://www.picotech.com/support/viewtopic.php?t=1193&highlight=generator+range Which seems to suggest that (for the PS3205) one cannot simultaneously use the AWG and an external trigger. Assuming I understood correctly: Does this apply to the PS2205 as well?
I have a few small (I hope) questions about driving the PS2205 AWG. (I'll be using VB6 if that makes any difference.) 1) In the description of ps2000_set_sig_gen_arbitrary "sweeps" parameter, there is reference to a "trigger". Is there anything I need to do after calling this function, or does the A...
I wrote (what amounts to) open_unit using open_unit_async, which gets
around the problem. The graphic still displays, but it goes away when the
open completes.
We are driving the PS2205 using a VB6 application. When ps2000_open_unit is called, a graphic box pops up ("PicoScope(tm)" and a progress bar). I don't mind the graphic, I guess, but if the open call fails, the graphic (typically) stays up until my program exits. I haven't found a way to close it or...
We have a pair of PS2205 units. From time to time, they appear to hang: The (WinXP) Device Manager says that they are operating properly, but neither our application nor Picoscope-6 can open them. When in this state, I don't hear any relay(?) clicks when the opens are attempted. Unplugging and re-pl...
