PicoScope function/property to increase number of samples?

Post by abriss »

Hey All,

I am trying to pull data off of a picoscope 5242D and am running into issues figuring out how to increase the number of samples I retrieve from the buffer. From the screenshot below, I am only able to retrieve 3000 samples, however, max samples indicates ~3MS. Does anyone know how I can get more samples? I'd like to use a smaller time base but maintain a high sample rate.

Same question: how can I increase number of samples? I'm decoding low speed UART serial data stream with large byte count. PicoScope software tells me my sample rate is too low to decode long bit samples. In version 6 that setting is very obvious but it is well hidden in version 7.

I've searched everywhere for PicoScope 7.x user guide and found nothing. It would be helpful for these type of questions.

It is in the scope settings panel, where you can set the priority between Buffer Memory and Sampling Speed
