I see for the function ps3000aSetSimpleTrigger() has a 16 bit threshold input argument. Over what input voltage range are these 16 bits fort he External Trigger?
For the function ps3000aSetChannel() on page 74 I do not see the External Trigger is a valid input for setting range.

Re: Setting the External Trigger Range
The threshold range is fixed at ±5 V for the external trigger input.

Re: Setting the External Trigger Range
Then for the External Trigger the appropriate range code is always 8.
But in PicoScope3000aSettings.vi the range code used to convert a voltage in float representation, to the ADC code, is always the same as set for A channel, regardless of which channel is selected for the trigger.

Re: Setting the External Trigger Range
The vi is an example, based around using a trigger on Channel A, so I would suggest modifying it to suit your requirements.
