Re: Beta Release of Picoscope for Linux

Hi all I opened the .deb files and took the relevant libraries out. For anybody who needs it I think this should install well on Fedora 20 x64 https://github.com/hmaarrfk/picoscope-rpm/releases Picotech seems to install things in /opt . I don't really like that because it is a non-standard install. ...

AWG Startup Sequence

Hello, I'm trying to use the PS5244 as part of a larger experiment. Unfortunately, during the startup sequence of the scope, the AWG rails at -2V for half a second and this negative voltage cannot be handled by the rest of my setup. I imagine this would cause problems for other people as well. The A...

Bug Report

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know, that

Code: Select all

#define PS5000A_SHOT_SWEEP_TRIGGER_CONTINUOUS_RUN 0xFFFFFFFF
is missing from ps5000aApi.h

It is also missing from the programming guide.

I added it to my own h file.

I hope this can be fixed in future versions.

Mark

Re: Low output voltage AWG Picoscope 6400

Hi Martyn, Thank you for your reply. I forgot to check the forums for a while. The connection is indeed a BNC to BNC connection. It seems hard to reproduce the problem. It comes and goes. I did find a temporary fix though. If you change the amplitude of the signal, to 2V, (changing it from the defau...

Low output voltage AWG Picoscope 6400

Hello, I have a Picoscope 6403D and I'm trying to use the AWG. Unfortunately, the output seems to be +- 0.04V instead of +- 0.5V. Also, the output appears wavy if you zoom into it. Any clue as to what might be happening? I've attached the output as seen from AWG attached to channel A. Picoscope 6403...

Re: ps6000GetValuesBulk makes (throws) an access violation

Hi Martyn, I tried the new DLL but it also does not work. (just crashes matlab without warning). Could I see the code you are testing the DLL with by any chance? Maybe I am doing something wrong. Mark Dave, I attached a zip of my matlab code, you should be able to reverse engineer my steps. I think ...
