Re: PS 6.11.8.10 does not find scope (Kubuntu 14.04)

Hi Silvan, I just tested a PS2204A with Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS PC (x64), no issues. Just did a software update. Same versions of Picoscope, Ubuntu and mono that you listed below. What scope do you have? Does it work on another windows PC? Can you check the USB cable and connections. Try another USB port...

Re: Can I retrieve data while rapid block mode is running?

There is no work around for this. So you are have the downsampling set to 10 yes- 10MS/s / 10 = 1MS/s 256 seconds x 1MS/s x 1 channel = 256M of memory (memory is half when using 12-bits and above for 5000 series) Could you try increasing the down sampling ratio more? This shouldn't be a issue if jus...

Re: Triggering Question

Hi BJW, 1. If the signal suite captured the first time repeats itself periodically, can the trigger mode be set so that the capture will also repeat periodically WITHOUT my needing to manually interact with the unit? This specifically means not needing to manually rearm it for another capture sequen...

Re: RapidBlockMode() template

Please see Rapid trigger mode under https://www.picotech.com/library/a-to-z which explains what rapid block mode does. When using the SDK you don't need to use a triggering. Hence the name 'Rapid trigger mode' in PicoScope software. If you still do plan to use the rapid block mode, could tell us wha...

Re: Triggering Question

Hi BJW, Changing the trigger options does not affect the voltage ranges or timebase of the scope. If the scope is capturing and you change any of the options the scope will restart the capture. The digital channels are displayed in separate area below the analog channel area but time rulers cross bo...

Re: PICOLOG ANOMALY

Hello Glovisol, I cannot reproduce this issue, this maybe due that I am not feeding any input signals in the DrDAQ. So once the Picolog displays this anomaly, you could not revert to normal operation even if you restarted picolog? Yes If this anomaly happens again can you try deleting the picolog ap...

Re: How to use GPS timestamp in PicoScope 6

Does your GPS Rx have a one second pulse output? You could use this if you have a spare channel on your scope.
