PicoScope Matlab problems with high frequencys

hello

I am a student currently using the picoscope3406 with matlab. I followed a tutorial on how to install everything succesfully. The matlab version i use is matlab R2019b. I am using the PS3000A_ID_Block_Example script to capture a signal provided with picotech-picosdk-ps3000a-matlab-instrument-driver-9c2a427. When i try this on higher frequencys i get a lot of deformation on the signal wich results in bad results for my fft(fast fourier transform). The signal i use to test is a sinus of 100KHz and a level of -10dbm(199.970 mVpp). Is there a way so that when you capture higher frequencys there is no deformation of the signal?

Hi

Are you using the example code as is or have you made modifications to it for your application?

Hi NeilH

I am using the example code as it is, whats extra is that i performed an fft on the signal.

Have you changed the sampling frequency by changing the timebase?
What is the signal that you are trying to capture like?

changing the sample frequency seems to help. Thanks for the help.
