Data collection at 250MSPS at 12 bit Pico scope 5244MSO

Post by k_Aurora »

Hello,
following the SDK examples in C, using the ps5000aBlockMSOCon.c is a starting point.
SDK Link
https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-c-e ... er/ps5000a

I am unable to get the Pico scope 5244MSO to do data collects at 250MSPS and 12 bit resolution. Am able to get 250MSPS working at 8bits, by changing timebase input to the ps5000aGetTimebase2 function on line 460.

Any suggestions for getting 250MSPS 12 bit resolution running?

Thanks
Kevin

In the example Channel A, and both of the Digital Ports are enabled, which means the fastest possible sampling rate is 125MS/s

Disable the second Digital Ports on line 352 and check to see if you can set 250MS/s
