Re: Linux drvier for PicoScope 3206A/B ?

I haven't had time to build drivers as yet but will hopefully do so soon as we have some additional staff in the support department :)

Re: Picolog 1012 -need to sample faster than 1ks/s

Yes it should do although you will need to make sure that PicoLog wasn't already connected to the device.

Re: Picolog 1012 -need to sample faster than 1ks/s

You may wish to look at our PicoScope 6 software which will work at faster rates with the device, otherwise writing your own software is the other option.

Re: Picolog 1012 -need to sample faster than 1ks/s

Please check the specification here http://www.picotech.com/multi-channel-daq.html

Maximum continuous streaming rate with your own software would be 100ks/s shared between the active channels.

Re: VB arbitrary waveform signal generation problom

The AWG uses a phase accumulator to synthesize the output waveform from the samples in the waveform buffer, hence the equation to define phase from frequency. Your buffer contains a waveform with both a positive and negative component defined in 4096 samples, the positive part taking up the first ha...

Re: VB arbitrary waveform signal generation problom

Can you send me an exact copy of the contents of the arbitrary waveform buffer that is passed to the driver.

Re: VB arbitrary waveform signal generation problom

I am out of the office today. If you are getting low/zero values out then they are probably in the buffer. Therefore I would suggest you look carefully at the data populating the waveform buffer as I am guessing that when you are reading your file in and populating the buffer some erroneous values a...

Re: Returning to electronics

Providing you are not looking at mains then any of our scopes would fit the bill. The entry level Picoscope2204 http://www.picotech.com/entry-level-oscilloscopes.html or, if you need to look at digital signals and decode serial communications, then the PicoScope 2205MSO http://www.picotech.com/mixed...

Make sure you preload the info structure with dummy values before passing to the driver.

Re: VB arbitrary waveform signal generation problom

The problem you are having is that the sampling of the wave is too slow for the speed of the wave. If you look at 20130124-A0001.bmp you will see it is starting to look like the wave you have in your buffer repeated many times. If you can change the sample rate on your scope to the nsec range, by us...
