This issue was solved by using an updated version of 'ps5000a.dll'.

Many thanks to the PicoTech support team.

Hi Hitesh,

Thank you so much for such superb support. The drivers fixed my problem immediately!

Hi Hitesh, I am using a 64 bit system. On opening the picoscope it says that the driver version is 1.1.4.42. I am using the 'PS5000AStreamingCon.cs' file to run the AWG. ***** C# PS5000a driver example program Version 1.2 Opening the device... Handle: 16384 Driver Version: 1.1.4.42 USB Version: 2.0 ...

Hitesh, Thank you for your response. That guide was exactly what I was looking for. However, I have set the threshold value to 4V (26214) and applied a DC voltage to the ExtIn to slowly ramp it up to to 4V in order to see the trigger. However, the trigger is never set off unless the input signal is ...

Hi, Can anyone point me to the correct units of the threshold argument in the SetSiggenBuiltIn function? Currently, I am supplying a 3.4V square wave pulse into the Ext port in order to trigger the AWG on my Picoscope 5444B. I am looking to set the threshold high enough so that this does not set the...

Martyn, After reading through many other posts, it seems as though a block capture may be what I'm looking for. I would like for the picoscope to sit and wait primed for a trigger and then capture for a given duration once triggered. Ideally I would like the capture to stop once the trigger signal i...

Yes the error code is still 290. Could you possibly attach a copy of the code you are using?

Cheers.

Yes, due to the first 'if' statement in SetTrigger returning status = 290 then at that point in the code, I still have the same error code. I have not modified the code other than copying in other functionalities such as the block capture.

Cheers.

That sounds exactly like what I would like to do but the trigger is not being set properly. Which version is the 'default' console app for this specific scope? I have attached a text file of the GUI before selecting triggered streaming.

Many thanks.

The 5444B is plugged into DC power supply.

Cheers.

My issue is that I cannot seem to alter the trigger conditions so that it will not be immediately triggered. I have set the first argument of mv_to_adc to 3000 but it still will just write the number of samples as defined by maxpostpretriggersamples in the RunStreaming function straight from when I ...

Thanks for your response! So you are saying that the device will write data to disk as soon as I start it running and will attach a flag to the sample that corresponds to the trigger point? If I wanted to have a minutes gap before my trigger event, would I have to write a minutes worth of 'uninteres...

Hi, I am trying to do triggered streaming on the Picoscope 5444B using the SDK (PS5000AStreamingConsole.sln). However I keep getting status error code 290 corresponding to 'USB power not sufficient' however I am plugged into DC mains. This means that the trigger never gets set up and thus the stream...

Hi, I'm using a Picoscope 5444B to generate a signal from the Gen port that is triggered on the Ext channel. I will also be using channel A to read in the data from the signal generator by just taking the output from the Gen port and placing it in channel A. I would like to have the scope waiting fo...
