%% PicoScope 4000 Series (A API) Instrument Driver Oscilloscope Block Data Capture Example
% This is an example of an instrument control session using a device 
% object. The instrument control session comprises all the steps you 
% are likely to take when communicating with your instrument. 
%       
% These steps are:
%    
% # Create a device object   
% # Connect to the instrument 
% # Configure properties 
% # Invoke functions 
% # Disconnect from the instrument 
%
% To run the instrument control session, type the name of the file,
% PS4000A_ID_Block_Example, at the MATLAB command prompt.
% 
% The file, PS4000A_ID_BLOCK_EXAMPLE.M must be on your MATLAB PATH. For
% additional information on setting your MATLAB PATH, type 'help addpath'
% at the MATLAB command prompt.
%
% *Example:*
%     PS4000A_ID_Block_Example;
%
% *Description:*
%     Demonstrates how to call functions in order to capture a block of
%     data from a PicoScope 4000 Series Oscilloscope using the underlying
%     'A' API.

%% Suggested Input Test Signal
% This example was published using the following test signal:
%
% * Channel A: 4Vpp, 5Hz sine wave

%% Clear Command Window

clc;

%% Load Configuration Information

PS4000aConfig;

%% Device Connection

% Create a device object. 
% The serial number can be specified as a second input parameter.
ps4000aDeviceObj = icdevice('picotech_ps4000a_generic.mdd', '');

% Connect device object to hardware.
connect(ps4000aDeviceObj);

%% Set Channels

% Default driver settings applied to channels are listed below - 
% use ps4000aSetChannel to turn channels on or off and set voltage ranges, 
% coupling, as well as analogue offset.

% In this example, data is only collected on Channel A so default settings
% are used and channels B to H are switched off.

% Channels       : 1 - 7 (ps4000aEnuminfo.enPS4000AChannel.PS4000A_CHANNEL_B - PS4000A_CHANNEL_H)

%% Verify Timebase Index and Maximum Number of Samples
% Driver default timebase index used - use ps4000aGetTimebase2 to query the
% driver as to suitability of using a particular timebase index and the
% maximum number of samples available in the segment selected (the buffer
% memory has not been segmented in this example) then set the 'timebase'
% property if required.
%
% To use the fastest sampling interval possible, set one analogue channel
% and turn off all other channels.
%
% Use a while loop to query the function until the status indicates that a
% valid timebase index has been selected. In this example, the timebase 
% index of 79 is valid. 

% Initial call to ps4000aGetTimebase2 with parameters:
% timebase      : 79
% segment index : 0

status.getTimebase2 = PicoStatus.PICO_INVALID_TIMEBASE;

% delay is used.

% Trigger properties and functions are located in the Instrument
% Driver's Trigger group.

% in this example.

%%
% This example uses the _runBlock_ function in order to collect a block of
% data - if other code needs to be executed while waiting for the device to
% indicate that it is ready, use the _ps4000aRunBlock_ function and poll
% the _ps4000aIsReady_ function.

% Capture a block of data:
%
% segment index: 0 (The buffer memory is not segmented in this example)

[status.runBlock] = invoke(blockGroupObj, 'runBlock', 0);

% Retrieve data values:
%
% start index       : 0
% segment index     : 0
% downsampling ratio: 1
% downsampling mode : 0 (ps4000aEnuminfo.enPS4000ARatioMode.PS4000A_RATIO_MODE_NONE)
