PicoScope 3000 Datastreaming to Labview > 1MS

Post by JosefM »

Hi,

can you please help me with this issue? I got the vi for Datastreaming PicoScope3000aExampleStreaming.vi and the
PicoScope 3206B.

The sample rate is a U32 for "Sample Rate in Microseconds". My task is to implement a 5MS measurement.
How can i do that now? Is there another vi without limitation to 1MS? According to the datasheet, a datastreaming up to 10MS/s is possible.

Thank you very much,
Josef

Hi Josef,

In the SDK R10.5.0.32 the PicoScope3000aExampleStreaming.vi you should be able to select if the sample interval is specified in ns or us.

Please download the latest SDK from http://www.picotech.com/software.html

Thank you, this is great!

I noticed some differences in the code and now I am a bit confused. Could you answer me 2 things please?

- What is an MSO Device? (MSO Streaming VI?)
- What does the Wrapper do? Wrap VI / wrap dll ?

thanks again!

Hi Josef,

The 3000 series has a range of Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes (MSO)

http://www.picotech.com/usb3-oscillosco ... lyzer.html

These device have 2/4 analogue channels and 16 digital channels.

Certain programming languages such as LabVIEW cannot support C style callbacks, which streaming requires to avoid data corruption during capture.
The wrapper dll contains the callback and some set up function to make streaming easier to use.

Please have a look at http://www.picotech.com/support/topic14301.html

Hopefully this clears up some confusion.

Kind Regards,

Alright, thank you! Yes i understand this part now.

But can you please help me with an error?

For the ExampleStreaming VI, using any set of parameters (also the default parameters), i get the Error 5013.
Message: "Possible Reasons: PICO_INVALID_PARAMETER"

The Error appears after the last dll Function Call within PicoScope3000aStartStreaming.vi
--> Pico Status "ps300aRunStreaming".

Im using the PicoScope 3206B.

Thanks in advance!
