Re: Response Time PS 4224

You should easily be able to do this. It's withing the capabilities of block mode, without needing to use memory segmentation of rapid block mode. Have you tried using the ps4000ExampleBlock.vi in the PS4000 SDK, downloadable from the Pico Website http://www.picotech.com/software.html You are correc...

Re: Time/date stamping PLW files

I think the only way you'll be able to do this is by stopping the recording each hour, and then doing you command line renaming. You can set the PicoLog recorder to Repeat after delay (File, New Settings, Recording), and set a restart delay. The next screen, Sampling Rate, allows you to set a time t...

Re: GetTimebase sets wrong timeInterval

But that's no the case. :? It is 0(ns) instead.

Why do you think a 0ns sampling interval has been set?

Re: Time/date stamping PLW files

The PicoLog recorder application doesn't enable you to do this.

Only by writing your own recording aplication would you be abl to do this.

Re: PicoScope 5203 data real-time acquisition

Accuracy depends upon the voltage range being used.

The mv level is determined by

(ADC count * range selected ) / 32512

Make sure the range selected in the ps5000SetChannel call is not too high for the voltage level being measured.

That's correct. You can add whichever of the other function entry points you need.

Re: Connect TC08 to labview

You will be able to use multiple units connected to one pc, connected through a usb hub. Use a powered hub. You can't synchronise the units, but that may not be important. If you start the units at the same time, the sample times will be close if your samle rate is slow. Labview has a 'write to spre...

Re: No LED flashing on 4227

Thank you for reporting this error.

The FlashLed function not working on the ps4227 has been logged as a bug.

Although the C# application only has a subset of available functions, is does serve as an example of how to get started writing your own C# code.

Re: Block Mode (PicoScope 3424)

In your ps3000_get_times_and_values function, you need to change the Calling convention from C to stdcall (WINAPI).

Re: Increase speed of Labview-routine with ADC20/24

By default, the PicoLog application uses RealTimeContinuous mode. If you set PicoLog to measure in Streaming mode, you will find it also uses a high CPU count, because it polls. To get a lower CPU usage, you need to use HRDLCollectSingleValueAsync / HRDLGetSingleValueAsync, which are non-blocking ca...
