etsCycles and etsInterleave, 2208B

Post by Mmm22 »

1) In the Programmer's Guide it is noted that etsCycles is "the number of cycles to store". To store where? ps2000aGetValues returns only 1 waveform.
2) It is also noted in the description of etsCycles that "The computer can then select etsInterleave cycles to give the most uniform spread of samples". What is the algorithm for that?

Hi Mmm22,

As discussed regarding your other post on this, your question relates to an error I made in that post. So, bearing in mind that the etsCycles are the waveforms used to donate 1 or more samples to the resulting etsInterleave waveform, then the etsCycles are stored in the waveform buffer, and the etsInterleave is the 1 waveform returned by ps2000aGetValues. So, the computer can then just divide the total number of samples in all of the used etsCycle waveforms by the number of samples resulting in the etsInterleave waveform to give the spacing between samples used in an etsCycle.

Regards.

Hi Gerry,
For some reason I don't see any influence of etsCycle value (as far as it is >= etsInterleave).
What is the reason for the two parameters not to be always eaual?

Hi mikhail,

I'm going to ask one of our Labview specialists to post an example ETS Mode vi on here for you.
