Hi Stuart, thanks for Your reply. Im not completely clear about what is happening. I use PicoLog in streaming mode (BM_STREAM) and I call pl1000GetValues inside a while loop. The (pseudo) code looks as follows; pl1000SetInterval() While total < condition pl1000Run() Do while not ready loop pl1000Get...

Hi, I'm using a pl1216 and I'm unsure aboute the period/duty cycle when sampling in streaming mode.

Im not a programmer so please excuse the, perhaps stupid question) About the error code, I checked the ...

Hi Robin,

feel a bit silly not have done that...

It returns PICO_NO_SIGNAL_GENERATOR

Isn't there one in the PL1216?

To my problem: to control the shutter i want to use the digital output from PL1216. When i test i do not get an...
