Trigger in Streaming Example

Post by PeterLang »

Hello there,

I want to use the PS6000_ID_Streaming_Example to stream data and use a trigger. I would like to open a window where the data is plotted and the plotted data should not move because of the trigger, is this possible? It should work like the trigger in the actual picoscope 6 program. I used this code, bit it doesn't work, maybe you can help me. It is basically the same code as in the example, just some modifications because I activated all channels.

Code: Select all

function [timeAxis,channelAFinal,channelBFinal,channelCFinal,channelDFinal] = AufzeichnungPicoscope_Streaming_VERAENDERT(A,B,C,D, RangeA, RangeB, RangeC, RangeD, TriggerSchwellspannung, ZeitProSample)
%% PicoScope 6000 Series Instrument Driver Oscilloscope Streaming 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,
% PS6000_ID_Streaming_Example, at the MATLAB command prompt.
% 
% The file, PS6000_ID_STREAMING_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:*
%     PS6000_ID_Streaming_Example;
%
% *Description:*
%     Demonstrates how to call set properties and call functions in order
%     to capture data in streaming mode data from a PicoScope 6000 Series
%     Oscilloscope.
%
% *Note:* Not all device and group object functions used in this example
% are compatible with the Test and Measurement Tool.

Re: Trigger in Streaming Example

Hi

When running streaming with the SDK it will start collecting data immediately with the trigger not being used to start the capture. In streaming the trigger is used to give the sample count at which the trigger condition is met for the first time. If you are wanting to use the trigger to start the capture, you would need to use block mode instead of streaming or alternatively select the data you want from the whole set of streamed data.

Hi

I don't know if i understand you correctly or maybe my explanation was not good.
What I would like to get is:
If I got a triangle signale as an input, I would like to fix the triangle on the screen, like in the picture I added to the attachment. In other words, i would like to synchronize the plot with the signal.
If i understand you correctly, this is not possible with the SDK?

Best regards

Hi Peter

From the images it looks like block mode is what you are wanting to use, in which you collect a triggered block of a set size. This will allow you to do what you are looking to do in having the data not move relative to the trigger point.
