Re: RapidBlock mode and ps4000stop

In rapid block mode you cannot tell how many segments the scope has captured until the scope is stopped. If you stop the scope before the scope has finished, you cannot read out any of the captured data. This has been changed in the newer PS4000a.dll driver by using the ps4000aGetNoOfProcessedCaptur...

Re: PicoScope 5000 series using LabVIEW2014 64 bit

The SDK for PS5000 and PS5000A files relate to difference drivers. A single driver covers multiple models of scopes. See the this post with the device driver table- https://www.picotech.com/support/topic15321.html As for using multiple drivers or scopes at the same time, this is possible. You need t...

Re: using built-in function generator in Picoscope 2208A

The Labview examples for the PS2000A driver covers most capture modes of the scope including the AWG.
You need to combine one of the capture mode vi's and the AWG vi.
I suggest combining the block capture to start, this is the easiest to use.

Re: Is there Labview driver support for Pico3205D model?

Hello,

The 'PS3000A' part of the SDK zip refers to the driver name not the scope model number see-

Reordering Channels in Picolog 5 Recorder Window

There isn't a way to do from the picolog software. But if you create a settings file and then edit it, you can reorder the channels. 1. Save a settings file- (file menu - save as - set to pls file type). 2. Close picolog and open the pls text file. 3. If you search for ' [Parameter ' and look at the...

Re: Is there a Labview 64 bits driver for Picoscope 2208A mo

Hello, The labview examples are currently setup to use the 32 bit driver. You need to change the labview to use the 64 bit version of the dll see- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiW71gQObn8#t=58 Also see Point 9 on change to function calls for 64 bit- https://www.picotech.com/support/topic12601.htm...

Re: Picoscope not delivering to specification??

Unfortunately maths channels can not be controlled with marcos. There is a feature request, for all of the controls in Picoscope to be add to the macro recorder.
The Lowpass filter in the channel options can be controlled via marcos :)

Re: pico 5204 not recognized using Silex SX-DS-4000U2 extend

You may have to reconnect the scope in the extender's control panel window. This should only happen first time the scope is connected with the PicoScope software. (We have tested a similar device) (PicoScope software disconnects the scope to load the scope's firmware) Have you tried connecting your ...

Re: Regarding j1939 and J1708

Hi, The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed these standards. Starting in 1990's- J1708 is the physical layer (i.e., or wiring), and J1587 – the message layer or data format. This had a limited speed of 9600 bits/second. Then later J1939 was created with speeds of 250 Kbits/second then up...

Re: Measuring DC Current

A shunt resistor would be the most accuracy, until the power resistor becomes to much. Above say an amp then a current clamp would be a better option. The most accuracy logger to do this would be the ADC-24. Has 24 bit ADC, with multi voltage ranges. ( 7 ranges from ±39 mV to ±2500 mV) If you need a...
