There is no need for the 'black magic' that you described. The temperature is returned in hundredths of a degree Celsius, and the humidity in hundredths of a percent.

The filter is simply a rolling average filter.

There is no way to get the latest cycle time rolling your own driver.

You are quite correct. The overflow is being reported wrong. I've reported a bug and the fix should go into upcoming 5.17.x release.

To get you going, I've attached a dll that fixes the problem.

Hi You are correct that this doesnt work for the pico installer. I've reported this as a bug. If you are still going to use the command line I would reccomend that you use PicoFull_r5*.exe as it will delpoy the prerequistes for PicoScope. To pass parameters to msiexec via the bootstrapper use the /V...

We are only really able to help with problems compiling or using the pico programming examples. The link below will take you to another forum discussing the same problem. Other than that, googl...

Mark and Carsten are correct in that noise is causing the scope to appear as though its triggering on the wrong edge. We have identified this problem before and we have addressed it using something called hysteresis in our more recent products. A good description of how hysteresis works can be found...

I'm afraid that the PicoScope file format is private and we cannot release the information that you asked for. I've submitted a bug report to get PicoScope to ignore the minimised flag when loading files. As you say, its completley pointless. This should be release in the 5.17.x version of PicoScope...

Hello Mark

The simplest way to strip out the minimised state from the PSD files is to open the file in PicoScope, Maximase and resave.

Hello Richard You are correct That PicoScope 6 does support fast streaming. At the moment this is only available for the PS5000 series and the PS3423 and PS3223 automotive scopes. We do have a version of PicoScope 6 that supports fast streaming for the PS3424 and PS3224. This version is currently un...

Once you have collected the data in PicoLog, you can select the spreadsheet data that you want to export and then copy to the clipboard. The data can then be pasted directly into Excel.

Hi A win32 long is only a 32 bit integer and is not equivilent to a managed Int64. You should use an Int32 for both win32 int and long. Take a look at the "Calling Native Functions from Managed Code" topic of the msdn library, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235282(VS.80).aspx , for more ...

The PicoScope popup only appears when you call ps3000_open_unit.

You may repeat the data collection indefinetley, once the device is opened, until you call ps3000_close_unit. There is no need to close the unit on each capture.

The PS3205 will work in one of two modes, block or streaming. In streaming mode, data is streamed into the PC continuously. This can be done at a maximum sample rate of 1kSps (samples per second). In block mode, data is collected at 100MSps and stored into RAM on the PS3205 itself. After collection ...

Can you install for a PS3000 only and the copy the attached adc20032.dll to the install directory. I spotted a problem when installing the ADC200 parallel port kernel driver services when there is no parallel port on the PC.
