Yes, that is the code I am referring too, and yes it is for a pico 6000 series. I am writing in VB.net. The data buffers are set up with the maximum amount of memory available, all 100M points, both app / driver buffers and data buffers. (maybe this is the cause of the inefficiency?) There is a bit ...

GetStreamingLatestValues(handle) seems to randomly take longer than a few seconds and I end up missing data at random.

Has anyone ever come across this problem?

Good day, Thank you. I didn't not realise that there was also a return from variable. I am still stuck at 20MS/s while calculating the RMS with no dataloss. When I try to repaint any values in a window for the user to see (once in 2-3seconds), it takes away too much from the computer to keep up. I w...

Is there a command to determine what sample rate has been chosen by the scope once you pass the channel parameters?

If I set the channel to 102ns I have noticed that I am closer to 102.4ns. I need to know that exact number so that I can determine the limit of real time measurements.

One more problem to solve from the previous post... I have tried downsampling anyways to see how much vertical accuracy is lost. I have turned up the sample rate equal to the downsample rate. I have been playing with it to see the trade off between real time and vertical accuracy. I seem to hit a wa...

Good day, I have solved my problem, and I do not need to downsample. Other people may run into this problem. Start Loop Slow Code: TRUERMS = ((Sample(i) / 32512) * Vertical Scale) ^ 2 + TRUERMS Faster Code: TRUERMS = (((Sample(i) / 32512) * Vertical Scale) * ((Sample(i) / 32512) * Vertical Scale)) +...

I am trying to figure out the downsampling mode. I have turned on averaging mode. My program keeps returning that the ratio is invalid. I have tried putting in several values into the downsample ratio. It keeps giving me the same error. I was expecting that if you put in 4, every 4 points will be av...

I saw that in some earlier posts. The range and speed of this device will not suffice.

I have been in contact with Cisco to see if they will work on it. If I get a working test set up, I will be sure to post something.

One more question about the measurement coming from the picoscope software. I was reading about the picoscope processing an image for the PC to view the signal, and reprocesses when you want to see more detail. Are the measurement results from the pico software downsampled as well or are they based ...

I am also interested in getting the picoscope to work wirelessly. If I could get a direct feed of raw data through a wireless link at a lower data rate to get an idea of what the scope seeing. Then initiate a larger sample in block mode to be downloaded a little slower afterwards. The main reason fo...

The status never changes from zero.

Thanks for the info. Now that I know there is a flag, I will look for it and figure out how to use it. I seem to have a bigger problem though. When I go to set up channels in VBA, I cannot hear the circuitry changing over from 1M to 50ohm. I tried making a button to switch from one to the other. If ...

I have been playing with the programming, and the problem may be that I don't understand the syntax. I am under the impression from the manual that you can do something like Call ps6000SetChannel(handle, 0, 1, PS6000_DC_50R, PS6000_50MV, 0, PS6000_BW_FULL) I don't believe this works because I cannot...

I am trying to figure out how to only stream after a trigger event has occured. I tried set the "pre trigger samples" value to zero. Right now it almost seems pointless to have a trigger set. With older scopes you could simply poll the scope until a trigger event occured. The picoscope manual is ver...
