PicoScope 7 Software
Available on Windows, Mac and Linux
Is there a way to trigger the scope via software?
Is there a way to trigger the scope via software?
If I understand correctly, if I call SetSimpleTrigger with enabled set to false, then call RunBlock, the scope will immediately return after collecting pretrigger+posttrigger samples. Is this correct?
I'd like to know if there is a way to start the scope acquiring, then trigger the scope via the API, so that the pre-trigger samples have already been acquired.
Thanks!

Hi
That is correct if you have no trigger set on calling runBlock it will immediately collect the full number of samples asked for i.e pre-trigger + post-trigger.
There isn't a way to use a software trigger for collection, you would need to set up an appropriate trigger to collect pre-trigger samples that are actually pre-trigger samples with runBlock.
