PicoScope 7 Software
Available on Windows, Mac and Linux
The PicoScope 2000 series oscilloscopes that use the ps2000a driver (e.g. the PicoScope 2405A and 2206B) have the ability to segment the memory for multiple waveform captures in block/rapid block mode.1. Open the oscilloscope using ps2000_open_unit.
2. Select channel ranges and AC/DC coupling using ps2000_set_channel.
3. Using ps2000_set_trigger, set the trigger if required.
4. Using ps2000_get_timebase, select timebases until you locate the required
time interval per sample.
5. Start the oscilloscope running using ps2000_run_block.
6. Poll the driver to find out if the oscilloscope has finished collecting data, using
ps2000_ready.
7. Transfer the block of data from the oscilloscope using ps2000_get_values or
ps2000_get_times_and_values.
8. Display the data.
9. Repeat steps 5 to 8.
10. Stop the oscilloscope using ps2000_stop.
11. Close the device using ps2000_close_unit.
