Re: Missing PicoScope 6000E Programmer's Guide

Hi

Which programming language are you using?
We have some examples for the ps6000a driver in C#, Python and Labview available on our github page which show how to call functions for using the new 6000E devices https://github.com/picotech

Re: Samples and resolution rate problem PS5444D MAtlab

Hi The maximum streaming (continuous sampling) sampling rate for the 5444D at 14 bits is 62.5 MS/s with a USB 3 cable and port or 15 MS/s with a USB 2 cable and/or port when using the PicoSDK. This is then needed to be divided by the number of active channels on the scope to give the maximum samplin...

Re: Writing Custom Python Wrapper API Without Hardware?

Hi

All of the API functions will return errors if there isn't a device connected (and opened for those beyond the OpenUnit functions)

Re: 3404D AWG single shot

Hi

If you set the Cycles Per Trigger setting in PicoScope 6 (or the shots variable if using the PicoSDK) to 1 then on a trigger the scope will output a single cycle of the signal then stop at each trigger.

Re: Picoscope Channels and probes settings.

The probe scaling in PicoScope 6 are a post processing software feature which can be replicated in MATLAB by using the scaling factor of the probe and multiplying the measured voltage by that scaling to get what the probe sees. This is all done after the data is collected from the scope rather than ...

Re: Problem calling 32-bit SDK from MATLAB R2014b

Hi

Our MATLAB addons are only supported from 2015b so we cannot guarantee performance on earlier versions. For 32 bit system we do recommend using 2015b 32-bit.

Re: Picoscope Channels and probes settings.

Hi In PicoScope 6 you can set the probe scaling to translate the voltage values the scope measures into whatever the probe is measuring. This can be found in the channel menu by clicking on the channel then selecting the Probe you wish to scale either from the drop down menu or by pressing the three...

Re: 2206BMSO Matlab 2020a icdevice/connect fail

Hi Stephen

I've just spotted that you're using the ps2000 examples, which will not work with your 2206B MSO.
Your scope needs the ps2000a instrument driver addon and examples to work in MATLAB.

Re: Cannot run sample files from picosdk-python-wrappers repository

Have you followed the setup steps in the README file?

Have you got the same bit version of the PicoSDK as your installed python?

Re: SOLT-STD-M Calibration Data

Hi

The data should have been supplied on a USB stick with the calibration kit, if you don't have this email into support@picotech.com with the serial number from the side of the kit and we can get you a copy of the data.

Re: Registery data for long time

Hi

For this application I would suggest using the PicoLog 6 software rather than PicoScope 6 as it is designed for long term data logging with inbuilt alarm function.
