I would like to know if it is feasible to use a 3206 MSO to acquire data (streaming mode) from 4 digital channels and save it to a *.txt file for later processing. I was checking the datasheets and some forum topics and it sounds possible but I think it is better to ask here before I start.
The 4 signals I want to acquire come from 2 position sensors (quadrature signals) and the frequency can be quite high, up to some 3 MHz. As far as I understand I would need to write some code for this application, I also see there is an example for a console application that reads the data in streaming mode (so I would only need to do some modifications to this example right?).
after some discussion it was decided we should get a 3203D-MSO scope for this task, pretty much due to the USB 3.0 (it may be a good thing to have).
The problem is, I've just checked the PS3000A SDK and the 3203D-MSO is not on the list of supported devices. Is there no SDK for this model? I couldn't find something on the downloads list either.
There is a Readme.txt, there you'll find a list of "Products supported by this SDK". The PS3203D-MSO is not on the list.
Also in the product page, if you go to picotech.com > downloads > Oscilloscopes > PicoScope 3000 Series > PicoScope 3203D MSO, you will not find the link to the SDK.
