Average mode acquisition in Python

Post by jacopoa »

I'm working on an acquisition software for a setup with a 1kHz signal with a Picoscope 5444D.
I want to take a thousands of figure and average them in time. So far I'm transfer every figure to the PC and then taking the mean value and it's a very slow and inefficient process and I'm missing many trigger between one measurement and the next.

I was trying to figure out if there is a way to average the 1000 figures directly on the scope and then transfer the averaged figure to the PC. Like the average math channel of the Picoscope software I think.

Thanks

Hi

There isn't a way to average multiple waveforms on the scope itself. Any averaging like this would need to be done on the PC after retrieving the data.
